There may be situations where you need to disable audio/video telephony
in the Lync client. This is particularly useful where you want to
deploy Lync in a terminal services/session host environment, and don’t want users
to be able to answer audio/video calls. The result in the Lync client is the removal of any
audio/video settings or actions. Additionally inbound audio video call
notifications will not be receive.
To disable telephony the following registry key needs to be
added:
Reg Add
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync" /V
"TelephonyMode" /D 5 /T REG_DWORD /F
Note: You can also add this to HKEY_CURRENT_USER
You can also do this manually in regedit. You will first
need to create the keys Office -> 15.0 -> Lync, then a DWORD with the following
values
Other Options
0: PC to PC Calls only (default)
1: Enterprise Voice
2: Remote Call Control
3: Enterprise Voice with PBX Integration
4: RCC but PC to PC disabled
5: IM & Presence Only
(sorry if this is a duplicate comment): Are you aware of any way to disable Lync Call without disabling Video capability? My company wants to use a third-party product (Avaya) to manage calling from Lync, but wants to keep Lync's video options in the UI. Having both Lync Call and the Avaya add-in visible to the user would be confusing to say the least.
ReplyDeleteHey Ellen, Cant say I have had that requirement before so I'm not sure. Here are the options available toTelephonyMode:

1: Enterprise Voice
2: Remote Call Control
3: Enterprise Voice with PBX Integration
4: RCC but PC to PC disabled
5: IM & Presence Only
Doesn't appear to be a Video only option but you could try PC to PC only.
Let me know how you get on.
