Enhanced Invitation Alerts

Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 and Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 will reach end of support on January 9, 2018. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.

New features available in invitation alerts in Office Communicator 2007 include:

  • Mini-alerts when the user is in full-screen mode. When a user is in full-screen mode, running either the Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation graphics program or Microsoft® Office Live Meeting, incoming calls and instant messaging (IM) invitations take the form of a mini-alert that can be expanded to full size if needed.

  • Communication mode indicators in invitation alerts. Invitation alerts for incoming instant messages, audio or video calls, or conference calls, display visual indicators to show the communication mode—whether IM, audio, or video, and whether the invitation is to a conference or simply a conversation with an individual user.

  • Actionable alerts. Conversation invitation alerts now provide the ability to reply with an instant message or audio call, redirect a call to another number, decline an invitation, or set Do Not Disturb until the top of the hour.
