Customizing the Lync Server 2010 Meeting Page
If you’d like to customize the appearance of the Meet web page (the page a user is taken to when they click the link in a meeting request), you can quickly swap out the Lync logo image with your own logo. By default, the Meet page shows the Lync logo:
The Lync logo image file is called CommunicatorLogoType.png. Backup the original and replace it with your logo saved as the same name in the following four folders of your Front End server(s):
- C:\Program Files\Microsoft Lync Server 2010\Web Components\Join Launcher\Ext\Resources
- C:\Program Files\Microsoft Lync Server 2010\Web Components\Join Launcher\Int\Resources
- C:\Program Files\Microsoft Lync Server 2010\Web Components\Reach\Ext\Client\Resources
- C:\Program Files\Microsoft Lync Server 2010\Web Components\Reach\Int\Client\Resources
The HTML code for the Meet pages doesn’t specify an image size. So you can use any size image you’d like. However, I don’t suggest you go over ~400 pixels in width or you risk breaking the layout. Here’s how ours looks after replacing the logo:
While it’s possible, I doubt the image will get overwritten with rollups or service packs.
Thanks for the hint! I checked that at least upgrading server from RTM to CU3 with LynServerUpdateInstaller does not replace modified CommunicatorLogoType.png.

This is cool. Any idea on how to update the actual text? We have a lot of users confused by the web vs. attendee options, so I’d love to be able to clarify that.
I haven’t looked into this yet. I’ll put it on the list, which appears to be getting long. 🙂
Thanks. I’ll be adding the logo next week, it’ll make me happy, even if nobody else cares or notices 🙂
has any one come up with a way to change the text?
Do you have to restart a service, or the server, for the new logo to take affect? I’ve changed them in all locations (3 x FE’s), but they’re not appearing on the meet.xxxxxx page.
Pete, did you ever get it to work?
Yep; we’re still in implimentation mode, so we’re never more that a few days away from a reboot of the FE’s :). I went with exactly 400px wide, which I think was about 20 too many, so I’d recommend 380ish. I’m sure there’s a less dramatic way to force Lync to re-read the page elements, just not sure what it is.
You may need to restart “Lync Web conferencing” servcice to pick up the updated logo. IIS restart per se did not work.
Thanks for the info, anyone know how to change the color theme? I have a client that changed from the gold color theme to blue.
Thanks for the info, has anyone done this with Lync 2013 yet? the filename still points to a Lync 2010 logo even in Lync 2013!
After some hunting around I found the file locations to do this in Lync 2013
to customise the logos in Lync 2013 you need to replace the following files
c:\program files\Microsoft Lync Server 2013\Web Components\LWA\Ext\Images\LyncWebApp_logo.png
c:\program files\microsoft lync server 2013\web components\lwa\int\images\lyncwebapp_logo.png
This will replace the ‘Lync Web App’ text on the join page.
