    Visual status information at the users desk is a VITAL MUST-HAVE, especially in open office situations!!! Why are Microsoft product managers always so ignorant about common and well proven use cases???

    We are currently investigating Blynclights in SLR Consulting APAC Region. We will be encouraging the use of Skype for Business as our Unified Communication platform. We will be migrating to O365 over the next 12 months and will be delivering MS Teams throughout the migration\transition.

    Makes perfect sense to also integrate Blynclights with MS Teams as part of the future road map.

    We are currently evaluating Blynclights in Deloitte Australia, we currently use Skype on prem but we are also starting to ramp up MS Teams access via our O365 migration\transition.

    Makes perfect sense to also integrate Blynclights with MS Teams as part of the future road map.

    We have invested heavily in Blynclights across our international business as part of our Skype for Business telephony platform. We are using the full MS stack and have enjoyed the synergies and tight integration across the various platforms (MS 365, Dynamics 365 etc...) presence being part of this valuable experience. It is essential as a manufacturing business dependent on sales via our phone system that these lights continue to operate under MS Teams. Thanks, GM ICT Services (Rondo Building Services).

    My company uses hundreds of these and we are moving to Teams - the need does not go away just because we go to Teams
    Please make sure they are supported as we move to Teams

    This feature is a must, it is so handy to have and if not supported will be a shame.

    Lync was a good product, it just worked and it worked well. Lync mobile was brilliant and a fantastic add on. Since Skype took over things got worse just worse, Skype mobile is a pain to use.
    Time to take a 2nd look at WebEx perhaps as the more Im exposed to it the more I like it.
