Lync Server 2013 supports the use of licensed public instant messaging (IM) connectivity providers, as well as the use of eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) to implement a special type of federation that enables a Lync Server to access configured XMPP domain partners by using the Lync 2013 client.
Public IM Connectivity Provider Support
The currently supported public instant messaging connectivity partners are:
-
America Online
-
Windows Live

For communications with Windows Live users, Lync Server 2013 supports peer-to-peer IM and audio and video calls. For communications with AOL and Yahoo!, Lync Server 2013 supports peer-to-peer IM. A separate license may be required.
