Skype (Lync) screen share with VCS

[laura.bibel1]

VCS 8.7.1 / Lync Server 2013 / Skype for Business client 2015

When Skype user shares screen, it shows as a small section of the conference screen for the Skype users. It's too small to be useful. Are we missing a configuration setting in Lync/Skype or is this by design?

This is by design because the VCS sends content to Microsoft within the main video stream, and doesn't transcode it into a separate content stream.  Refer to the "Features and Limitations" section in the VCS and Microsoft Lync Deployment Guide (X8.7) regarding screen sharing and it's behavior.

This problem is very common, one friend of mine was learning russian by skype https://preply.com/en/russian-by-skype. So we advised him to reinstal Skype and everything is ok.
