These extensions allow you to specify URLs that if accessed through Chrome, should be rendered within IE instead.
What I've found as a workaround is to use the IE Tab extension within the other browsers to accommodate Lync online meeting joins.
#Lync web app chrome full#
This is frustrating because the desired action would instead be to use the full Lync client to join the meeting by default. Since IE isn't being used the ActiveX control can't load and automatically join using Lync. In those cases clicking the button on the reminder, or even just clicking the "Join online meeting" hyperlink within the meeting invite will cause the default browser to open and the user to be presented with Lync Web App. Let's face it, IE has come a long way, but many folks (like this guy) prefer Google Chrome or Firefox to be the default browser. Joining through either method usually works great, but the caveat is that this only works when the user's primary browser is Internet Explorer. If neither method succeeds, the user is directed to the Lync Web App login form. For Firefox, there is a Microsoft Lync 2010 Meeting Join plugin which pulls off this detection. The way this works for IE is through the use of an ActiveX control which detects whether the full Lync client is installed by detecting the user agent string and if it matches IE, Lync is used to join the conference. Users can also click the "Join online meeting" link within the meeting invitation and Lync will automatically put them in the meeting. When Outlook 2010 and Lync 2010 are installed on the same system users see a "Join Online" button in calendar reminders that allows them to join a conference in Lync immediately.
