Conferences Reports

Conferencing can be defined as a session that has three or more participants. The conference can be chat, audio-video, data sharing, application sharing, or any combination of these.

A participant is identified by a unique User Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) entry or the display name. Each participant can take several roles during a conference and can have multiple entries. For example, the Presenter role is assigned when a user is communicating and the Attendee role is assigned when a user is silent.

The Conference type can also change for a participant during a conference. If a participant uses Lync or Skype for Business instant messaging, the Conference Type is shown as chat. If video is enabled during the conference, then the Conference type changes to audio-video.

How Conferences are Recorded

Conferences are recorded against the day and hour they start. However, if a conference is in progress while MessageStats gathers information, or if it ends after midnight (UTC), the conference does not appear in that day’s gathering. For example, a conference that started on Monday and ended on Tuesday will not appear in the reported conferences for Monday until after the Wednesday gathering has run.

For conference reports, the time values are always rounded up to the nearest minute. For example, if a conference lasted 25.21 minutes, it is stored in the database as 26 minutes.

Reports include data only for successful conferences. If the end date of the conference is null, MessageStats does not include the conference.

How Conference Media Types Are Reported

If more than one medium is used during a conference, the conference is categorized by the dominant media type. For example, if you have a conference with chat and then you initiate audio-video, the conference is counted as an audio-video session.

Conference types are based on the media used and are determined using the following order of media types:

1
Application Sharing
2
Audio-Video
3
Data Sharing
4
Chat

The following table describes the reports found in the Conferences folder:

Peer-to-Peer Reports

The Peer-to-Peer reports contain information about Lync-initiated audio-only, video, and desktop sharing sessions. These reports also provide the chargeback information for the combined audio (including enterprise voice calls), video, and desktop sharing sessions.

How Peer-to-Peer Session Types Are Reported

The report pack provides detailed reports about peer-to-peer audio, video, and desktop sharing sessions. The sessions are categorized by session type.

Reports include data only for successful peer-to-peer sessions. If the end date of the session is null, MessageStats does not include the session. To see summary details for the combined audio, video, and desktop sharing sessions, see the reports in the Peer-to-Peer folder:

For information about how chargeback costs for enterprise voice calls are reported in the peer-to-peer reports, see Calculating Enterprise Voice Chargeback Costs .

Reporting Media Types for Lync and Skype for Business

For Lync and Skype for Business, MessageStats counts the same session for each media type that is used, the same as in the Microsoft native reports. The same session is counted in different media reports when multiple media were used. For example, if there was a session in which both audio and desktop sharing were used. the Microsoft native reports count the session in both the audio session report and the desktop sharing session report.

The exception is when audio and video are used in the same session. The Microsoft native reports will show two different sessions but the MessageStats reports count the session as a video session and show the media used as audio-video.

The following table provides descriptions of the peer-to-peer session reports.

MessageStats counts the same session for each media type if multiple media were used. The exception is when audio and video are used. The session is counted as a video session only and the media used is shown as Audio, Video.
