Looks like the existing APIs, like for Lync (terrible rename to "Skype for Business" that they secretly shoved out in Windows Update this month - confusing and pointless). IIRC, NetMeeting also had some cool APIs, allowing you to easily get access to data channels and so on.

> terrible rename to "Skype for Business" that they secretly shoved out in Windows Update this month - confusing and pointless It's not pointless. Having one name for your business and consumer products makes things simpler.

  Lync branding was confusing anyway.

    Try working in a shop that does Linq. Link, Linq, and Lync sound exactly the same when spoken. So sentences like: "let me send you the linq link on lync" occur.

      I frequently hear Linq pronounced "Link... Linqueue?", and Lync as "Link... Lüngg?"
