Skype for Business and TLS

alamb200 — Mon, 22 Feb 2021 15:46:46 GMT

Hi,

I am hoping someone can help with this one.

We are removing the old cyphers from a customers inhouse Skype for Business 2015 implementation, but we have come across a problem. We used iiscrypto to remove the old cyphers on the edge, proxy and skype server and they seemed to work okay, but we then heard from the customer to say the phones aren't connecting in to the Skype Server.

The only way we have managed to resolve this is to roll back to use the old cyphers, can anyone help me to remove the old cyphers and keep the clients working?

Client - Skype for Business 2016 (16.0.5065.1000)

Server - Skype for Business 2015 (6.0.9319.548)

Any help appreciated.

Skype for Business still in Location Services after uninstall

Mike McDonald — Wed, 10 Feb 2021 17:13:54 GMT

I had to use Skype for Business for a one-time conference call. After the call I uninstalled SfB application, but it still shows up in System Preferences --> Security & Privacy --> Privacy tab, the app still shows up in the Location Services section. How can I get that removed? I found the clean uninstall instructions at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/skypeforbusiness/troubleshoot/server-install-or-uninstall/clean-uninstallation, but that did not help. I have also rebooted several times and understand that having it unchecked should prevent any location activity, but it should not be there at all. Any idea how can I get SfB completely removed from my system preferences?

Skype for Business web app does not recognise webcam

BistoBallix — Wed, 20 Jan 2021 21:40:02 GMT

The desktop apps for Skype and Skype for Business recognise my camera without any issues, but when I accept a meeting invitation using the Skype for Business web app (tested on Chrome and Microsoft Edge, both on Windows 10 - fully up-to-date), I can't access my camera, nor can I select any cameras from the video settings menu during the meeting. The app thinks I don't have any cameras installed.

I've tried 2 different webcams, which both work perfectly in other conferencing apps, but SFB web app gives me the same error each time.

I've also made sure that all browsers and web apps have access to all webcams.

Can you help me with this issue?

skype phone number transfer to teams

flashback88 — Wed, 20 Jan 2021 21:04:55 GMT

Hi Microsoft community. I hope you will be able to help me with this question.

In company I work for, we have a skype number set up. We use this skype number for our customer service. Now, since skype is about to reach EOL, and we would like to have better control over this account we want to transfer this number to Teams.

This number ,account was created years ago and it was requested as a new number. Therefore, the provider for this number is SKYPE/MICROSOFT.

I have read bunch of articles and tutorials on how to port a number to teams, however this (wheatear done by automated wizard in office of send manually to PSTN service desk) requires a lot of information that I don't have. I have credentials to this skype account, phone number that is associated with it, but I can not figure out how to transfer it to teams.

Can you please advise ? It really sucks that MS Skype is about to reach EOL and there is no clear information about how to transfer from number from skype to teams. Community Skype for Business Adoption

Skype for Business(On premise) MFA using thirdparty MFA provider

IAM_Consultant — Mon, 18 Jan 2021 11:17:32 GMT

Hi Team,

I saw Skype for business app/mobile app can be configured for MFA using Modern authentication . I read on Microsoft documentation MFA can be done using Azure AD and ADFS. Is it possible to configure it using any external IDP or federation server sitting on premise without using Azure AD(Cloud). We have vendors like Ping, IBM which supports federation server+MFA capability

I request you to please provide any input you have on this type of integration.

Thanks

Chat for websites

alexnaderbuganov — Sat, 09 Jan 2021 16:08:27 GMT

Hello.

My name is Alexander Burganov. I'm a php programmer. I'm looking for a sponsor for my startup. The conditional name is "Chat for websites". The point is in a universal chat that is automatically embedded in any site and allows you to exchange information both between people and between sites. The user types in the browser something like this line https://chatforwebsites.ru?go_url=www.microsoft.com. As a result, the standard microsoft site opens, but at the bottom right there is a small chat window for exchanging text messages. Instead of microsoft, you can specify any other site. There are three ways to exchange messages:
1. From person to person
2. From the person to the site. In this case, the message will be received by all people who currently have the site specified in the message open.
3. From site to site. This is a parallel transfer of information from one person's site to another person's site.
There are two types of information transfer: single and group.
In a single transfer, the sender moves the cursor to the item to be sent and presses Ctrl+S. This command sends the content of the element to the chat. After that, the "Send" button is pressed. The recipient, after receiving the content of the element, moves the cursor to the element in which the message should be written and presses Ctrl+R. After executing this command, the message from the chat will be written to the selected item.
In a group transfer, the sender specifies the name of the attribute in the chat and clicks the "Send" button. After executing this command, all elements of the sender's site that have this attribute will be rewritten to the corresponding elements of the recipient's site that have this attribute. In this case, the elements will be matched by the value of this attribute.
In addition, with the help of a special api request, site developers can access all elements of the site of a certain user, provided that the user is in the chat and has allowed access to the site.
You can also come up with a lot of additional functionality specific to cross-site exchange. In fact, I propose to supplement the standard client-server system with a system of parallel information exchange between client parts. I am a php programmer myself and could take part in the development of this chat. My email: abuganov@gmail.com

How are you accessing Skype for Business Server IM archives post-Teams migration?

David Phillips — Mon, 04 Jan 2021 19:42:26 GMT

IM archives are stored in SQL. Can I decommission my server infrastructure, leave the SQL database online and continue to use the Export-CsArchvingData cmdlet? Do I need to leave the core components installed on a server to continue to use the cmdlet? Does a SQL query exist that pulls this data when needed? Should I just export everything to the .eml format and let the compliance folks sort through it (seems brutal).

Skype to Teams Transition "Try it" URL

msmith275 — Wed, 09 Dec 2020 20:34:51 GMT

So, I'm in one of the sovereign MS365 cloud instances and we are transitioning from Skype for Business online to Teams. in the Teams Upgrade window there is a "Notify Skype for Business users that an upgrade to Teams is available" switch. When it is turned on, Skype displays a blue banner at the top with a "Try it" button. With the "Download the Teams all in the background for Skype for Business users" switch turned on, if a user clicks the "Try it" button before the client install has been downloaded to their machine, it will launch a browser and send the user to the public teams site (teams.microsoft.com). This will cause an error when the user tries to login. Is there any registry or file that can be changed to cause the 'Try it" button to redirect the user to the appropriate sovereign cloud's URL?

Figure out a way to avoid GFW and make Skype APP usable in a Chinese smartphone

GatesLover — Tue, 08 Dec 2020 09:53:16 GMT

Great Firewall - Wikipedia

People in China can't use Skype on their smartphone. And that could be barrier for our international business. Why not figure out a way to skip the GFW. Maybe we can install a built-in VPN or SSR so that we can use it in any internet condition, WIFI 4G 5G. Also protect us from PRISM.

PRISM (surveillance program) - Wikipedia

Amalgamate Skype&outlook; Apply 3 language AI technology to Skype; Biological authentication

GatesLover — Tue, 08 Dec 2020 09:23:43 GMT

Why not combine the Skype and Outlook into one? These 2 products have something in common! Outlook is mere the message in text; and Skype is the message in audio and instant video! Why not share a same account all edit in the Word on Edge? The more product you have, the less customers you get! Just combine the Skype and Outlook account into one to rival Google voice, telegram, WeChat, Whatup! And what is the most important thing Skype can do to overtake the above competitors? I think it majorly 2 point:

First, applying speech recognition, translation, speech synthesis into Skype! When your foreign customer Skype you, the speech recognition and translation works to generate automatic simultaneous bilingual subs! And you can open up the dub mode to make the speech synthesis system work either to generate instant interpretation.

Secondly, apply facial recognition, fingerprint/palmprint recognition, voiceprint recognition, saliva DNA recognition and other biological feature recognition technologies to Skype login, instant payment and commercial credit authentication. Make sure that every biological person has only one Skype account. The above biological authentication will be widely used in instant payment, such as paying for transportation by facial or fingerprints recognition when commuting by drone, or paying through voiceprints and voice passwords after ordering food in an online supermarket. Biological identity authentication can also help customers to understand the merchant's property status and business credit to ensure transaction security.

Iphone Skype for Business Notifications

SimonNCap — Mon, 07 Dec 2020 12:36:39 GMT

Hi,

Over the last few weeks the Skype for Business App on my iphone has stopped notifying me when I get a message come through. I only see them when I open the app up. This happens even if I am logged out of my desktop Skype.

I have version 6.27.1.6 of Skype for Business and it says its the latest one in my apple store.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled it, logged in and out but no difference.

It says 'supported' next to Push Notifications but it does not let me select or change this.

Any help to resolve this would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Loading the Skype for Business Web App Plug-in has timed out or failed. If the problem persists...

AndyBasa — Fri, 04 Dec 2020 21:16:51 GMT

I have been using Skype for Business Web app to connect with my clients who use the Business App. For many months now there have been no issues. As of November 30th or December 1st - I now get that error on both a Chrome and Edge browser on my Windows 10 based PC. I worked with HP Laptop support and they updated everything including the BIOS to no avail. Has something changed in Skype that is now causing this issue and is there a solution to it. Also can I use my personal Skype account to connect to a Skype Business meeting?

I can successfully log into the call but I continuously get this error. I shut down the browser, restarted it, restarted the computer and all failed.

I would appreciate some assistance or a solution!

Cannot install Skype for Business

TomHurdle1 — Mon, 30 Nov 2020 17:26:08 GMT

When I click on install now it comes up with the following:

We're sorry Microsoft Office installer encountered a problem because you have these Click-to-Run installer based Office programs installed on your computer:

Microsoft 365 en-us

Windows Installer and Click-to-Run editions of Office programs don't get along for this version, so you can only have one type installed at a time. Please try installing the Click-to-Run edition of Office instead, or uninstall your other Click-to-Run based Office programs and try this installation again.

If anyone could help what exact steps I need to take next would be much appreciated. I am wary of uninstalling anything incase I lose any files and the error message itself sounds like its contradicting itself.

iPhone rings when receiving an attachment on Skype

NickChester — Wed, 18 Nov 2020 11:21:34 GMT

Hi,

A strange one which I can't find any info on when doing a Google search.....

I'm a user of Skype For Business(SFB). All was working well until around 2 weeks ago. When a colleague sends me any form of attachment via SFB, SFB on my iPhone then starts ringing. It shows on my iPhone that the person who's trying to send an attachment is trying to call me. If i try to answer the call it sits on connecting and doesn't do anything which i guess is expected as the colleague never initiated a phone call. The attachments sent are received fine on my laptop.

On my laptop i'm using O365 SFB. V 16.0.13231.20372

iPhone XR - SFB V 6.27.0.1

Thanks,

Nick

Mobile Integration removal

john_222 — Mon, 09 Nov 2020 21:18:11 GMT

So the most recent update seems to have removed this option from the settings of Skype for Business's mobile app. This has enabled notifications to go through as well as the Skype for Business call history to be integrated with your personal phone call history. This is entirely unworkable for a variety of reasons. Is this a permanent change and is there any way to change this?

Opening a daily names chat group

MarkP772 — Sun, 08 Nov 2020 20:44:46 GMT

Hi, I work on a Helpdesk and use Skype For Business to open a daily IM chat in Skype every morning.

I know how to create a group and open a group chat from this but I need to give the chat a name that everyone can see to differentiate it from any other group chats.

The only way I have found to do this is to open a new mail in Outlook, make it To someone in the group, create a chat title in the Subject field, click in the empty body of the email, hover over the name in the To field and select the IM icon to open a Skype chat.

I then add all the other users to the chat one at a time.

This seems a long and tedious way to do this every day.

So my question is, is there a faster way to do this with a few clicks?

Being able to give the chat a title "Group Chat All Teams" is vital for my query.

Many thanks,

Mark

Skype Business Chat commands (BOT/Script)

feuerballroflpofl — Fri, 06 Nov 2020 22:41:16 GMT

hello everyone,

I am wondering if it is possible to have a script or program that can "read" the chat within skype business calls and use the information that is provided.

For example there is a voting and the participants need to vote !yes or !no in chat. The program then can make sense of the chat input and save information like this:

15 people voted yes

8 people votes no

List of people that voted yes:

Name, Name; Department, Timestamp

Name Name; Department, Timestamp

List of people that voted no:

Name, Name; Department, Timestamp

...

I did not find anything that would let me do this. I am using obs to stream to Skype business using the virtual camera plugin. I would like to somehow connect stream elements with chat input from skype business in any way. Or have a completely autonomous solution for this.

Skype Business 2016 (16.0.5.5065.1000)

Maybe think of it similar to streamelements and twitch chat.

Signing in only works in some networks

Leonhard_K — Fri, 06 Nov 2020 07:57:26 GMT

Hi all,

I have the following issue:

When logging into my Skype for Business account at work (from my companies domain network) or from a mobile hotspot, everything works nicely. However, at home from my private WiFi, I am unable to log in and SfB is stuck on the "Contacting server and signing in" page forever. This holds true with or without VPN to my companies domain.

I followed basically every step that I could find in forums, ... that did not require admin rights (because I don't have them). This includes deleting sign-in infos and sips, or setting connection to manual.

As I suspect my WLAN to block some kind of necessary traffic here, I opened several ports on my network, so far without any success:
TCP 80, 443

UCP 3478-3481

What else can/should I do or which settings do I have to use for my network?

When asking my admin, all I was told was that "he could not set up my own WiFi", which is probably correct...

Thx

Problemi con l'installazione di Skype for business.

Skype for Business App behaving wiredly after iOS 14 update

marcosgh — Tue, 03 Nov 2020 18:34:04 GMT

After iOS 14 update the skype for business app has has a weird behavior. When in a conference call some of the buttons won't correctly show up on the screen. Also when in a call or conference you lock the screen, the Skype buttons don't show up, it shows a control widget similar to the one that controls

music (pictures attached). Any thoughts on getting this fixed?

Skype client presence not being updated

Logan Burt — Tue, 27 Oct 2020 18:33:09 GMT

I have Skype for Business Server 2019 in a 3-node front end pool. One of our users is not getting his presence updated from his Outlook calendar. When he schedules a meeting, his Skype for Business presence is still saying "Available". I have tried having him create a new meeting and check back after 30 minutes in case it was the default delay, but his presence is still showing "Available" during the meeting time.

Where should I look to troubleshoot and correct this?

Thank you for your help.

Skype for Business link

Jans2 — Tue, 27 Oct 2020 07:42:57 GMT

I am curious if the following is possible. In the company we have an activity calendar in which (online) events are announced. It is also possible to immediately add a link from the online environment which you use. In the company we only use Skype Business. How do I get the link, which I can already put in the invitation (without using Outlook), so that colleagues can already receive the link?

Skype For Business WEB APP - Profile Picture

Teqniqal — Thu, 22 Oct 2020 01:57:24 GMT

I am invited to another companies' SFB group meetings and I use the SFB WEB APP to attend. My user profile picture remains an outline, not a picture. How can I change that? The only information I have been able to find applies to Office 365 and/or SFB subscriber program, neither of which apply to my situation. OS is Win 10 most recent updates, Browser is Firefox 82.0.

Change Greetings button Greyed Out

blue-man — Wed, 21 Oct 2020 21:11:36 GMT

We have Skype for Business hybrid in place and Exchange Hybrid in place.

Skype for Business 2015

Exchange 2016

We have setup Skype for Business online oauth with Exchange On-premise setup, so our SfB online users can record voicemail greetings.

We have found only our SfB online users configured with our on-premise primary email domain can record their voicemail greeting out other users with different domains cannot as the voicemail change greetings button in the sfb client is greyed.

We have tried moving them from Islands mode to Teams only and when they record their voicemail greeting in Teams it does not save the voicemail.

Their mailbox is on-premise, but as part of testing I have moved their mailbox online and it records fine. We do not want to migrate users mailboxes to Exchange Online yet, so need to get this working for these none-primary domains whilst their mailbox is on-premise, but their sfb account is online.

Any ideas what could cause this?

presence unknown when I try to phone or message contacts

precious390 — Tue, 20 Oct 2020 19:47:06 GMT

Hi, I recently moved to a different office for my company. My old colleagues still show on my contact list. Some of them still show as busy or available, some of them show as presence unknown. However when I try to phone, message them etc, they all show as presence unknown. When I left the office on Friday, they were having problems with Skype then, If we phoned each other it was showing as presence unknown, because they were changing our e-mail address's on outlook. However for reasons we won't go into I'm a little worried that they have blocked me. Any help would be gratefully received, as I am climbing the walls.

Skype not respecting last monitor

Matt_ibroker — Tue, 13 Oct 2020 08:54:44 GMT

Hi,

Since the last updates, Skype no longer remembers which monitor it was opened on. If I have it maximised on a monitor, then minimise the application, when I open it again it jumps back to the Primary monitor rather than my Secondary monitor where it was originally minimised.

This wasn't an issue until recently.

Skype For Business - Simultaneous invites from the same organiser

DemDLNHS — Fri, 09 Oct 2020 12:02:52 GMT

We have been using Skype for Business to conduct virtual interviews and have recently encountered a problem.

One organiser has set up 3 different Skype for Business invites all at the same times, with different attendees on each invite including one external attendee. When internal attendees joined their individual skype meeting invites, they were also accessing other on-going skype meetings, but was waiting in the lobby to be admitted? How has this happened, as all 3 skype for business invites had different attendees?

In this instance the organiser is only acting as an admin for setting up these 3 invites for different Skype for Business users and external user.

Has anyone else also experienced this or know how this has happened and how to rectify this?

Thanks!

Shared screen - Audio only, no video recording

James470 — Thu, 01 Oct 2020 12:46:52 GMT

Hi, I'm currently undertaking some training of which I've set up Skype meetings with the Trainer and trying to record. I open the skype meeting then once the trainer has shared screen hit the record button - to get a full video recording of the training.

Issue:

Once the recording has finished some recordings are only showing audio only (which isn't much use) and no video - It says "At this point in the meeting, no one was presenting or sharing video" even though I'd clearly been through the training and seen everything on the Trainers screen.

Sometimes it works and I get video as well as audio and other times audio only (again which is no use)

Can someone advise if I'm missing something simple or if this is a known glitch with skype.

Cheers,

New External Cert on Edge causing outbound calls to fail for remote users

DanielMeeder — Wed, 30 Sep 2020 13:37:04 GMT

Good Day. Recently we have been asked to **bleep** another SIP domain to our environment and that's all ok, BUT When I get a new Digicert for my AV WEB and CONF services on my edges outbound calls start to fail. They will ring through to the endpoint but then sit in skype connecting call for 15 seconds then drop. The cert chain all tests ok and uses the same intermediate and root from digicert and the only other change other than thumbprint and all that is the new SAN.

I have applied the cert and reboot the edges and my client and really no errors pop up in event logs I do see in the reporting server the calls get a error 23

Any ideas from the group?

Aufnahme in Skype for business nicht gespeichert / can't find my skype for business recording

YasminMZ — Thu, 24 Sep 2020 08:10:24 GMT

We recorded a one-hour research talk on Skype for Business yesterday. However, I cannot retrieve the recording and it is not displayed in the storage folder. When I look in the recording manager, I see our meeting under title, status "ausstehend" (= upcoming?!), size and length are 0. I'm sure that I did everything right when I recorded it. And think that Skype for Business will usually be able to provide the file within 20 hours as well.

How can I get the recording now??? If this is available for 30 days and stored in some cloud with you, it must somehow still be possible to receive it.

It would be really important! So please contact me to find the mp4 file.

Gestern mittag haben wir ein einstündiges Forschungsgespräch über Skype for Business aufgezeichnet. Die Aufnahme kann ich allerdings nicht abrufen und sie wird auch nicht im Speicherordner angezeigt. Wenn ich im Aufzeichnungsmanager nachsehe, bekomme ich unter Titel unsere Besprechung angezeigt, unter Status "ausstehend", Größe und Länge liegen bei 0. Ich bin mir sehr sicher, dass ich bei der Aufnahme alles richtig gemacht habe. Und ich befürchte, dass Skype for Business normalerweise auch in der Lage ist, innerhalb von 20 Stunden die Datei zur Verfügung zu stellen.

Wie kann ich nun an die Aufnahme kommen??? Wenn diese angeblich 30 Tage verfügbar ist und bei Ihnen in irgendeiner Cloud gespeichert, muss es doch irgendwie noch möglich sein, diese zu erhalten.

Es wäre wirklich wichtig! Ich bitte Sie also, sich mit mir in Verbindung zu setzen um die mp4-Datei ausfindig zu machen.

Uninstalling Skype for Business

After not being able to sign into skype for business, I was looking to uninstall the application. It is not appearing in the control panel, which I have read elsewhere, that this is to do with being linked to Office...
The 'solutions' I have read online were not helpful as they required a code or access to an admin account.
Please can someone give me a solution??

Skype business interview

fabricehenin — Fri, 11 Sep 2020 13:29:37 GMT

Hello,

So here I have to go for a job interview via Skype for Business exclusively. So I prepare in advance, I install it but cannot connect.

No matter what I use for information, I get an "error" message that tells me:

"Skype for business has not found a Skype enterprise server for outlook.fr (Or gmail.com depending on the email I am providing) The DNS configuration of your domain may have a problem. Please refer to article KB2566790 for more details and contact your system administrator. "

I'm pretty good at IT but I dry off, I can't find really relevant information and that bothers me, I would like to be able to carry out my interview in good condition.

Thank you in advance !

skeptic_101 — Fri, 11 Sep 2020 02:22:04 GMT

I was an original Skype user before Microsoft took over. I liked Skype much better then. My issue is that once Microsoft took over, I lost all my former contacts, my saved conversations, and the like, and had to start all over to open a new Skype account. My question to this group is: for those of you who were original Skype users, did you lose your previous info, and how did you get it back?

Pantalla queda "Cargando" cuando me comparten pantalla en una reunión

sfortunati — Mon, 07 Sep 2020 15:25:54 GMT

Buenos días,

Estoy cursando virtualmente en la facultad por Skype.

Tengo instalado en mi notebook tanto Skype Meetings, como Skype Empresarial. Cuando el profesor comparte su pantalla, generalmente comparte su escritorio y abre archivos Excel, no puedo verlos desde mi ordenador en ninguna de las dos aplicaciones, he probado instalar/desinstalar ambos y aún así no funciona.

La pantalla queda con un cartel de "Cargando". Si utilizo otra computadora esto no sucede.

Agradecería me brinden una solución.

Desde ya, muchas gracias.

Saludos.

Skype call / meeting does not work from corporate laptops only

saamyy — Sat, 05 Sep 2020 16:56:34 GMT

Hi Guys,

I have got a strange prod issue. My EMEA business users (say abc.com domain, user@abc.com) are unable to connect (skype call/meeting) with their customers (say xyz.com domain) over Skype for business only when they use their company (abc) provided laptop. It works without any issues when they use their personal mobile and laptop with the same login user@abc.com

I made sure that domain xyz.com is not under the blocked domain list by login to the skype admin portal.

I'm new to skype admin but not sure how to move forward.

Request your help from skype admin experts who may have come across it and any clue what is going on?

Request your help at the earliest since its prod and escalated.

Thank you for your help in advance.:pray:

Recording a video meeting by accident

Hi all,

We recently experienced that a colleague recorded a skype4b meeting without informing the rest of us. Afterwards, he claims that this was done by accident. However, we cannot find any hotkey or button to press to activate the record function, outside of accessing it through the menu. Does anyone know whether there is an "accidental" way to activate the recording function in Skype4B?

MFA issue when moving users

BenRooke — Wed, 26 Aug 2020 19:53:21 GMT

H All. I'm having a real issue with MFA when it comes to moving a clients users from On-Premise to Online. The admin account i am using is MFA enabled and this cannot be disabled. I am getting really frustrated with having to authorize the login for the account every time ( or so it seems ) a user is moved.

I am using a csv file so importing and then running the Move-csuser command in powershell. Is there a single command to stop this from happening or to force O365 to accept the fist time authorization...

The shared screen size in the Skype meeting

Yonja9 — Tue, 25 Aug 2020 04:45:20 GMT

Hello Team,

I`m using Skype for Business.

When the other person shares the screen during a Skype meeting, the screen that the other person shares will appear small size, regardless of whether you press the button of Actual Size / Fit to Window.

This seems to happen because my PC is set to 4K resolution.

I am asking if there is a way to view the shared screen in FULL size.

Skype for Business PPT embedded video not playing sound

Side-by-side view for presentation

Matt_Ellison — Tue, 18 Aug 2020 13:52:53 GMT

Hi,

I am giving an online talk and need the viewers to see both the video of myself and my powerpoint presention side by side the same size.

I figured out how to do this in regular skype but have learnt that the client is using Skype For Business and during our tech run we couldn't get it to work.

I can't experiment my end as I am not a subscriber to that service.

Can anyone tell me how to do this in Skype For Business? I have attached a screen shot of what I need being done in regular Skype.

Many thanks,
Matt

P.S. Also any ideas if I can subribe to Skype For Business for a month reasonably cheaply so I can have a play with it before hand? I'm googling this but can only find USA sites (showing $) or Microsoft telling me to upgrade to MS Teams. Thanks.

Skype vs Skype for business when purchasing a Skype number?

SODonahue — Mon, 17 Aug 2020 18:51:50 GMT

(It was requested that I move this post over from the "consumer" Skype questions to business).

Hello,

I have a small business, its just me and I have no dedicated phone system. I've started using teams (as part of my MS365 account with my dedicated domain name) and it appears to be beneficial for me to have a Skype number so that I can call landlines etc. and not use my mobile number all the time. So which is the right solution for me? When I launch teams or turn on my Mac it immediately launched Skype Business. When I look at the “Skype Business” portion of the website it appears to say that Skype for Business is now directly part of Teams and if one wants to use a Skype number then there is all this talk about integrated phone system hardware which is far more than what my business needs right now. Will a standard (personal/consumer?) Skype number integrate with teams and be enough for me to use or am I entirely missing something with the business aspect of Skype in connection with my account? The big difference is, as I see it, the lack of voicemail in the personal/consumer version. But I don't understanding how that would work in a "business" version if there is no PBX phone system. In either case my assumption is that I need to get a dedicated number via Skype.

thanks!

Skype for Business: Auto logs in using old work login

SetMid — Mon, 17 Aug 2020 00:38:16 GMT

Skype for business automatically logs in using my old work login. I want to stop it automatically logging and and clear my old work login so that when I have a new work login, I can use it again.

Please note I have left that organisation and am thus not able to login using that login.

The auto login is so fast, probably less than 2 seconds - I cannot action anything.

I have a fully paid for Microsoft account on my home computer, and need to be able to work remotely using S4B with other orgs during COVID.

Skype for Business attempts to login using my old work login and gets stuck on a white screen. I have to ctrl-alt-del and end task every time to get rid of it.

I have spent a lot of time trying to find a solution and hope this community can please help me.

Add empty value on MobilityPolicy

aehanno — Tue, 11 Aug 2020 16:32:47 GMT

I try to put empty value for MobilityPolicy for OnlineUser with this method :

Grant-CsMobilityPolicy -PolicyName $Null -Identity 'test'

But I have this error message

This policy must be assigned a value compatible with the user's subscription and location. It cannot be $null. + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation : (Grant-CsMobilityPolicy:String) [Grant-CsMobilityPolicy], InvalidOperationException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidOperation,Microsoft.Rtc.Management.Xds.GrantMobilityPolicyCmdlet + PSComputerName : admin2e.online.lync.com

I don't know why I have this error because I have user who have this empty value. Some with license and location and some without.

If someone have an idea, I will be glad to discuss about this.

Thanks you

Regarding call flow. Can I set-up 1 delegate for simultaneous ring for me....if she (my 1 delegate) doesn't answer after xx seconds/rings ... it then rings 1 or two others on a delegate list she has?

Skype for Business, Office 365

ShawnEQ — Fri, 07 Aug 2020 22:20:37 GMT

One of the client updated to Office 365 recently by herself using upgrade made available to software center by enterprise admin. Previously she was using Office 2010. She successfully upgraded to office 365 and is able to use word, excel, outlook and other products without any issues. But Skype for Business is giving trouble

1. The send button is missing. It doesn't matter if you make the chat window as large as the computer screen itself

2. The chat area is all blank. when IM is sent to her notification pops up but there is nothing in the chat window. she can send IM by pressing enter key but the send arrow is missing

As part of the trouble shooting

The office 365 install was repaired
Tested lync.exe from both the install location and shortcut it opens up without any issues
The users lync sips were deleted
The computer is windows 10 and 64 bits so is the office 365
signing in with a test account and using skype shows normal behaviour
The computer was restarted twice
The user signed in and out of skype multiple times
The user is able to find other users in skype

What could be causing the issue?
