With Microsoft Lync Online communications software, you can exchange information in real-time with another person by using instant messaging (IM). It’s easy to accept a message by clicking the alert that indicates someone is starting an IM conversation with you. If you don’t currently have time for an IM conversation, you can choose to ignore the conversation alert.
