You can also change your presence at any time. Skype for Business lets you see who is available, busy or away. Your audio and video are now set up to start making video and audio calls.

If asked if you want to save your password for sign-in, in the future, choose ‘Yes’Īt the ‘Help Make Skype for Business Better’ box, choose whether to allow Microsoft to collect error logs and device configuration information If you are challenged on first use, simply enter your credentials and Skype for Business will use those going forward. If you change this option at some point, then you can still find Skype for Business under Productivity on the start panel. With this new tool, Microsoft is also clearly trying to compete with Hangouts, which Google has deeply built into its suite of office tools (and which allows third-party services to integrate new features, too).Signing in should not normally be necessary as Skype for Business should start automatically when you start your computer. It does not, however, include any of the business-oriented features that come with the new version of the existing Skype for Business. The regular free version of Skype after all, also allows for group calls with up to 10 people. The fact that the maximum number of participants drops to three after 60 days clearly shows that Microsoft sees this feature as the freemium version of Skype for Business. That means you will get to take advantage of Skype’s head tracking feature, for example, which ensures that a face will always be in the center of the screen, no matter where it is in the actual video image. Participants can join Skype Meetings from virtually any device with the help of a personalized URL and the calls are powered by the same technology as Skype for Business calls. After that, the maximum number of participants drops to three people. Video calls are also limited to a maximum of 10 people during the first two months. Skype Meetings, on the other hand, only allows for PowerPoint collaboration (screen sharing, laser pointer, etc.) and screen sharing. The more fully featured Skype for Business product allows you to host meetings with up to 250 people and it’s deeply integrated into Outlook, Word and PowerPoint. Skype Meetings is essentially a stripped down version of the Skype for Business solution.
Microsoft today launched Skype Meetings, a new audio and video conferencing tool specifically designed for small businesses.
