"Panic Button" for Skype for Business client

Question

Hi there,&nbsp;We recently had a request to implement a "panic button" feature for Skype for Business.&nbsp; Basically the user wants to in case of an emergency, have a feature that sends a pre-recorded message, text&nbsp;or alert through Skype for Business client.&nbsp; Has anyone heard of this type of feature?&nbsp; I've done some searching but I can't find any add-ons that would be able to provide that type of feature.&nbsp;- Our server environment is Lync Server 2013- Clients all use Skype for Business client- The client who requested this is on Enterprise Voice&nbsp;We had reached out to Microsoft and was advised to post on the techcommunity site.&nbsp;

Sounds like something you'd have to custom develop using the UCWA.

I know that the Alert Broadcast functionality is possible. Check out out AlertMe from Modality Systems.

The "Button" might take a small bit of custom dev. I'm sure someone on the product team could give you more details.
