Hi James,

Consumer version of Skype federation with onprem skype for business deployment must be registered from pic.lync.com. In Office365 version of SfB Online you need to activate it from the admin center, skype control panel - external communication.

For other users with Skype for business you need to have on both side have a federation. Some companies have a closed federation and add domains in a whitelist.
