Skype for Business on a Chromebook

In the previous SfB IT Pro forum (on Yammer) there was a thread about the ability to install SfB on a ChromeBook.  Has anyone done this? Can you point out any docs on the same?   Thanks!

Not the same, but you can use IM in the browser. Log on to office.com and the go to outlook. In the upper corner you will find a Skype for Business logo after some loadingtime.

Hi,

it was less the IM function it was more the use of voice client, (which would make the Chromebook more of a replacement for a PC). Have seem and tried some versions of Chromebooks able to use the android versions but these have been a bit 'buggy' and slow and sort of an official way to get round using a Chromebook and S4B together.

I suspect the nature of the W10S devices and chromebook war will make this highly unlikely to change any time soon....

    The Android app works on Chromebooks that have can load android apps.

      I've installed and it loads properly, but I am as yet unable to join any meeting. Will continue looking for the solution.

        I installed the Android app on my pixelbook and cannot login.  I can login to the website direclty, but the android app running on my pixelbook always fails to login.

         

        If it matters -- I'm NOT a skype for business customers, but I'm trying to use this to collaborate with MY customers, who are Skype4Business customers.

         

        Thanks
