Jamf access for Office 365 - Skype For Business Mic Disabled

[andys2020]

I’ve found a slight incompatibility with Skype for Business and the particular version of macOS I’m using. The symptoms are that Skype never requests permission to use your MacBook’s microphone and so it’s permanently muted for all participants in a call. Has anyone else seen this problem? and have a resolution.

We've seen this issue, and the fix was to walk the user through the privacy settings to manually give Skype access to the microphone and camera. PPPC policies may allow automating this? Haven't seen this affect anyone else on a call, however.

Resolved thank you 👍

I created this script to reset the TCC Camera and microphone setting for users without disabling SIP. Within my environment, I setup an EA to check for a logged in User's disabled TCC values and parse for Skype for Business's bundleID. I then run the tccutil reset Microphone or Camera command depending on which value was disabled. With Catalina you can reset individual TCC camera or microphone bundleID's (So just Skype for Business will ask for re-approval). Please note, the only way (I've found) to get this to work on Mojave is by reseting the TCC Camera or Microphone settings for all apps.

#This script is created to report and reset disabled Camera or Microphone TCC Security and Privacy access for Skype for Business within a logged in user's TCC preferences.  If the Camera or Microphone option is disabled it will reset the TCC value to allow a reprompt for a user's Camera or microphone access.  SIP can stay enabled 
#### Please be aware that for machines running Mojave and below resetting a single Application's TCC bundle ids does not work properly so the entire microphone or camera TCC settings will be reset.  If you have multiple apps that require TCC, please consider the neccessity of this script.  Use at your own risk####
