Thanks to all for useful responses. &nbsp;There is NO PLACE on Microsoft's web site where screenelements are defined (i.e. in MS Word, you have the ribbon, the tabs, the contextual tabs, etc.) &nbsp;There's nothing like that for Lync that says &quot;This is called the &quot;Lync Main Window&quot; &nbsp;It seems that you have decipher the UI terms on your own.

Instant messaging (IM) is a type of online chat that offers real-time text transmission over the Internet. A LAN messenger operates in a similar way over a local area network. More advanced instant messaging can add file transfer, clickable hyperlinks, Voice over IP, or video chat. Non-IM types of chat include multicast transmission, usually referred to as "chat rooms". Depending on the IM protocol, the technical architecture can be peer-to-peer (direct point-to-point transmission) or client-server (a central server retransmits messages from the sender to the communication device).

Chat / IM

Server applications are managed with the Microsoft System Center.
