If you’re looking to start a Skype meeting now, but are having trouble with Skype for Business, don’t worry – there are a few solutions you can try. Some customers have reported issues with starting meetings on their PC, but there are workarounds available. Give these options a try to get your meeting up and running smoothly.

Solution

1. Check for Network Connectivity Issues  

Follow the steps below to troubleshoot your network on Windows 10:

• Step 1: Connect to the Internet/Wi-Fi.
• Step 2: Open the Start Menu by navigating to your desktop window. Go to the Settings tab.

• Step 3: Select Network & Internet from the drop-down menu.

• Step 4: Select Status.
• Step 5: Type Network troubleshooter into the Find a setting search area and click on it.

• Step 6: To complete the process, follow the on-screen directions.

After that, check to see if the network problem has been repaired. Simply try to view the URL again to do so. If you can do so, you are in luck; if not, the issue is most likely unrelated to network connectivity.

2. Use the Credential Manager  

If you can’t create/attend a Skype conference, try using Credential Manager to change your Skype login information. Follow the steps below to do so:

• Step 1: Launch the Control Panel.

• Step 2: Locate Credential Manager and click on it.

• Step 3: Locate the set of credentials for the Skype for Business Online platform and click it to explore the choices.

• Step 4: Click on Remove from Vault.

• Step 5: Close the application.

• Step 6: Return to the platform and enter your new credentials.

3. Mend File Association Issues  

You may be unable to attend a Skype meeting if there is a problem with the .ocsmeet (file association) files. Essentially, the Skype for Business Online software should be set to open all .ocsmeet files as the default application. Follow the procedures below to check and configure the Business Online software as the primary application for opening association files: 

• Step 1: Select Default Programs from the Control Panel.

• Step 2: Locate and choose Associate a file type or protocol with a program from the drop-down menu.

• Step 3: Look for the .ocsmeet and see if the default program is Business Online or Lync Online. If not, simply adjust the settings as necessary.

• Step 4: Close the application.

In conclusion, encountering issues while creating a Skype meeting can be frustrating, but there are practical solutions available to overcome them. By following the troubleshooting steps mentioned above, you can address network connectivity problems, update your login credentials using Credential Manager, and fix file association issues related to .ocsmeet files. These troubleshooting techniques will help you get your Skype meeting up and running smoothly, ensuring a seamless virtual collaboration experience.
