Strategy for SfB Deployment To 25 Diverse Users

Hi Wayne.

I'll try to answer your questions here.

Answer 1

Sort of correct. You'll need to assign the licenses to all users that need to organize (sends the invitation) a Skype meeting with PSTN conferencing available, those users doesn't have to actually participate in the meeting, so the task can be delegated.

Answer 2

Correct, the join options is available.

Answer 3

The user can join using the Skype Web App and signin with the Office 365 account without using the Skype for Business client.

The Skype web plugin works in the following browsers:

On Windows desktop: Internet Explorer 9 and higher, Firefox and Chrome.

On Mac OS: Safari, Firefox and Chrome.

If you use several internet browsers on your computer, you only need to install the Skype web plugin for one and it will be available for other supported browsers as well. If your browser doesn’t support add-ons, or you can't install the web plugin for any reason, you can still send instant messages to your Skype contacts using Skype for Web. However, the Skype voice and video call options won’t be available.

The Skype web plugin is not supported on Windows RT, Linux and Chromebooks.

Answer 4

The client on tablets (iOS, Android and Windows) works quite fine for a meeting participant, but you cannot use in-meeting presenter controls from the mobile client and some sharing capabilities are not available, so this is not a full-featured alternative (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn951412.aspx).

Answer 5

Most likely, but that depends on AMO your infrastucture.

Hope this helps you.
