Does anybody know if its at all possible to Blacklist or whitelist applications into Application sharing, so that users can only share certain ones ?

so in short Application whitelisting, either by 3rd party Apps or but server extension.

Lync 2013 and 2010

thanks

Unfortunately you will not be able to get to that level of granularity. There are no configurable settings within the conferencing policy in which a user can only share, say, Microsoft Excel and not Microsoft Word or Microsoft Access.

Extremely sorry about that, but maybe you don't like users sharing their entire computer; after all, when they do that everyone in the meeting sees everything that happens on the shared computer, including such things as a Microsoft Outlook "toast" popping up to announce a newly-received email. Because of that, you might prefer to limit users to sharing just a single application; that way, people in the meeting only see the activities that take place within that application. In that case, just set EnableAppDesktopSharing to SingleApplication:

 Set-CsConferencingPolicy Identity global EnableAppDesktopSharing SingleApplication

 

When you do that, the Desktop option will no longer be available under the Share menu:
