versions are explained below:

is available on all campus PC's. This client can also be

Lync Web Client (Browser based client)
Microsoft Lync Web App is a browser-based version of Microsoft
Lync 2010 that allows people who are using a computer that doesn’t
have Lync 2010 or Microsoft Lync 2010 Attendee installed or who do
not have a Microsoft Lync Server 2010 account to participate in
online meetings.
Lync Web App is supported on either Windows or Macintosh
operating systems. For Windows users, all the in-meeting features
are available, except for computer audio, video, and the ability to
upload Microsoft PowerPoint presentations. The same features that
are available to Windows users are also available to Macintosh
users, with the exception of desktop and program sharing.
To use Lync Web App, users must have the Microsoft Silverlight
4.0 browser plug-in or a later version of Silverlight installed. If
Silverlight is not already installed when the user first starts
Lync Web App, the user will be prompted for installation.
The desktop and program sharing features require a plug-in. The
first time Windows users initiate a sharing session, they will be
prompted to download the required sharing plug-in.
