how do i test microsoft lync if i dont have a account?

How do I test Microsoft Lync if we dont use microsoft lync ourselves?
Our problem is we have an important customer who uses microsoft Lync and we always have issues connecting to them for important conferences. I would like to be able to test our equipment well and write instructions for our users. For example, skype has a skype call testing feature. does Microsoft lync have anything familiar.

I would be grateful for any advice

How long will it take to sign up for Office 365 (with Lync Online) and configure lync for a meeting - bare in mind I've never used lync or office 365? Can you see any show stoppers with doing so?

Thanks for the heads up on skype integration but the guys want to be able to view the white boards ect.. ill keep my eye on developments.

I've managed to get on the next meeting so I can test it myself next week. One of the engineers was on meeting earlier in the week and he was able to share his desktop. The meeting that worked was using Internet Explorer and the meeting that didn't was chrome? is there a limited functionality with chrome?
