Depending on the source this could be referring to traditional standards-based conference room solutions communicating with foreign systems, or this could be more of a story about tying together with enterprise and consumer grade applications. Backgroundīefore getting into the new information it would be prudent to start with some baseline understanding of what the generalized term of ‘video interoperability’ actually means.
As made evident by the unexpected popularity of an earlier article on this same topic for Lync 2013, there is a growing need to understand this space which has actually become more complicated over time, due to the increasing number of applicable solutions and methods coming into the market since then, provided by multiple Microsoft partners and even Microsoft themselves. This article will attempt to do the same regarding one of the advertised capabilities coming to the Lync replacement in Skype for Business: Video Interoperability. In a previous article this rebranding of Lync to Skype for Business (SfB) was analyzed and explained in an effort to clarify some of the confusion immediately seen after that announcement. In some cases, it may continue to use the older Remote Desktop Protocol if VbSS is not supported by the Skype for Business server hosting the meeting, someone is recording the session, or an attendee is using an older client version that does not support VbSS.

When you start sharing, the app automatically chooses how to share your screen, but it will always choose VbSS when possible.
Not only is VbSS faster, but it also more reliable and works better in case of low network bandwidth conditions.
While you won't see any changes in the way you present on-screen content during your meetings, you will notice that the connection time is drastically reduced, and the screen presentation is always in sync between presenter and viewer. Starting today, users who share their screen into a meeting from the Skype Meetings App (the web-downloadable meetings app for Skype for Business) can get the significantly improved performance of Video-based Screen Sharing (VbSS).
