The Lync Web App will launch in Chrome, instead of the expected full Lync Client 3. Change default browser to IE, click on the Join Lync Meeting and the full Lync Client will open as expected.

What is the expected behavior? It's expected that the standalone Lync client will launch after the 'Join Lync Meeting' link is clicked. File associations are correct in Windows -.ocsmeet is set to Lync Desktop. The full Lync app opens as expected when 'Join Lync Meeting' is clicked in either Firefox or in IE. What went wrong?

Processing I've also found a similar bug report on Chrome for Mac, but a contributor there suggests that the Lync plug in is at fault. I've submitted the URLs to Lync support. #12 Okay, thanks; that's what I needed. The reason this started with Chrome 22 is that we dropped support for legacy graphics and event models (QuickDraw and Carbon, respectively) that have been deprecated for several years.

To remain compatible with Mac Chrome 22+, plugins need to negotiate the new CoreGraphics and Cocoa models. Almost all the popular plugins have updated over the last several years, and I had reached out to the vendors of plugins I was aware to let them know. I hadn't heard of this plugin, so I hadn't contacted them. The fix here is for them to release an updated version of their plugin.

If their plugin doesn't draw or handle events (and it sounds like it doesn't, but is just a bridge to the app) then adding the negotiation to the plugin is a trivial change in their plugin. I don't see any contact info for them, so what would help is for anyone experiencing this to contact Microsoft Lync technical support or any other contact point you have to let them know that their plugin needs to be updated, and point them to this bug for details. Feel free to provide them my email address in case they want to follow up in any way. Processing This cannot be the case though. If Chrome were completely unaware of the request to action the.ocsmeet extension then why do I get the error 'Could not load Lync Meeting Join Plug-in'?
