Hello!
Unfortunately it doesn't work for us.
"Let people use Skype for Business to communicate with Skype users outside your organization." it's active.
But if we search skype consumer with the email address we can't add them to our contact list.
It works only if the skype has a microsoft account email address or he has the skype account linked to microsoft...
We have tried with SfB for Windows and it works normally. In our company we use only Mac.
Is it a bug for the mac version?
Thanks,
Tai

Feb 23, 2017Adding Skype contact using skype id feature is not supported in SFB Mac. + Jennifer Karlsson to add this to the list of feature requests.

Hi Jennifer,
It's been almost a year now. Is this feature ever going to be introduced?
- Phillip GardingFeb 01, 2018Former EmployeeHello, Gelke:
Support for Skype contacts is not currently planned. We only plan for two quarters out, so it is not on the horizon for at least that long. We prioritize the features based on customer input, and support for Skype contacts has not been a prominent ask in our support channels.
