    Hi,

    The federation between Teams and Skype consumer is rolling out and should be finished by the end of April. So maybe you haven't got that feature in your tenant yet?

Thanks for the info! Been searching for this for a while.

The funny this is that the Skype Consumer user added me via using my email address. After sending the hello wave message to wait for me to accept him showed up. After a few minutes, his Skype said he was all set like I accepted his request, but I never seen his request in Teams or approved him.

He sent a few messages and I never received them in teams. He also tried to video chat and Skype says that I am not online.

 

It seems his Skype connect to me somehow, but nothing seems to work. So frustrating because know with my email address no one can contact me using Skype Consumer. Is there any workaround until it works in Teams?

 

Thanks Again!
