If a supervisor is monitoring or coaching an agent and accepts a second call, the supervised call is placed on hold and cannot be retrieved by the supervisor. To avoid this problem do not accept additional calls during a supervision session.

A desynchronization occurs between the Skype for Business client and the Skype for Business server when an agent mutes a call and then puts the call on hold or accepts a second, direct incoming call from the Skype for Business toast, causing Skype for Business to place the first call on hold. Even if the agent now resumes and unmutes the call, it is not correctly resumed. To avoid this problem, do not mix mute and hold, and do not accept direct calls while engaged on a Genesys call.
To recover from a situation where the call cannot be correctly resumed, it is necessary to unmute and mute the call repeatedly while attempting to resume the call at every step.
| ID: WPLYNC-1614 | Found In: 8.5.001.09 | Fixed In: |
When an agent handling a call controlled by Genesys receives a second, direct (non-Genesys) call to the Skype for Business client, if the agent answers the second call using the Skype for Business toast without first placing the Genesys call on hold, the agent is unable to resume the Genesys call when the second call is released. This is caused by a desynchronization between the Skype for Business client and the Skype for Business server. To avoid the problem, the agent must either place the Genesys-controlled call on hold before answering the second direct call, or set the T-Server option handle-direct-calls to true, so the second call becomes a Genesys-controlled call as well.
To recover from a situation where the call cannot be correctly resumed, it is necessary to unmute and mute the call repeatedly while attempting to resume the call at every step.
The limitation is corrected in version 8.5.002.00 if the Plugin is configured to use the BeginAccept method.

With the option lync.allow-consult-from-held set to true, when the agent makes a secondary consultation call from a held consultation call after the original primary call is released, the agent receives the inappropriate warning "Consultation barred until Primary call is connected". The agent should retrieve the held consultation call using the Resume button for the secondary consultation call to succeed.

If the Plugin is started in a mode consistent with the T-Server handle-direct-calls setting, it fails to send a request to T-Server even if lync.notify-startup-mode is set to true. Consequently, T-Server fails to lock the setting, and dynamic configuration option changes can result in T-Server behavior inconsistent with the plug-in mode.

After a two-step conference via ISCC from a Skype for Business agent to a SIP Server agent, the party information contains incorrect information about the call participants.
| ID: WPLYNC-988 | Found In: 8.5.000.77 | Fixed In: 8.5.000.90 |
If a conversation contains IM within a Skype call, and the Agent attempts to transfer or conference this call to SIP, the call will be transported between the Skype for Business T-Server and the SIP T-Server via ISCC. ISCC allows only voice communication to be interchanged, and therefore the IM part of the conversation will not be available on the SIP side.
