Today, at an event in New York City, we announced Microsoft Teams—the new chat-based workspace in Office 365. Microsoft Teams is an entirely new experience that brings together people, conversations and content—along with the tools that teams need—so they can easily collaborate to achieve more. It’s naturally integrated with the familiar Office applications and is built from the ground up on the Office 365 global, secure cloud. Starting today, Microsoft Teams is available in preview in 181 countries and in 18 languages to commercial customers with Office 365 Enterprise or Business plans, with general availability expected in the first quarter of 2017.

"Apple has created a new "CallKit" API that allows third-party VoIP apps like Skype to behave much like a standard phone call." (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-10/) Are there plans to leverage this new functionality in SfB Mobile for iOS? It seems like it would be an excellent enhancement for incoming calls.
Skype for Business - Translator
A long while back, it was announced that Skype and soon Skype for business was going to use Bing translator to enable translation real time. While the video would be nice my biggest want is just translation for the IM. We have a sister company in China and I would love to use skype for business to enable better communication. However when I tested it out internally it did not translate the Chinese. Has this been scrapped or do I need to enable it somewhere?New Meeting Invite Updates for the Windows client on Formatting Dial-In Strings & Link to Join
