Invite to shared workspace by url

Hello

I would like to share my desktop, and then invite people to my sharing by sending them an url. The participants should then be able to use the Lync web app, to see my shared desktop. I guess the way to go, is start a conversation, share my desktop, and then fetch the conversation url somehow.

I have used this http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/779be5ea-f58a-4404-abee-57596d92d843/prgrammatically-send-lync-invitation-to-email-address?forum=communicatorsdk to get an url to a conversation, but the link requires the participant to have lync installed.

How would i go about doing this?

Thanks.

You will most likely need to ask in the dev forum for the programmatic way to grab this information but you shouldn't need the Lync Client to join.  The "manual" process would be something like:

1. From Lync Client, click Meet Now from Client

2. Meeting starts, click the more menu (three dots in lower right corner) and choose Meeting Entry Info.

3. There will be the Meeting Join Link, which could be copy/pasted to others.

Like I said, not sure how to programmatically to do all of that.

Thanks,

Richard

Richard is right, one thing I'd add is that you can append ?sl=1 to the end if that URL if you want to force users to use the web client for a consistent experience.
