Do Not Allow External Domain Skype Communications - Is this still valid?
In the middle of setting up our package as near best practice as possible. We are managing this just through research and asking questions etc. We don't have a trained M365 person.
Small company 20 users M365/Intune.
From the things I have read Do Not Allow External Domain Skype Communications Is considered best practice.
But if its due to be discontinued soon (2021) is there any point in me worrying about it?
And is there a similar setting in Teams I should be considering?
Jeremy_Heath Hello, you should definitely go for Teams-only mode if you're about to adjust your org. As for the "external access" the settings in Teams admin portal look like this.

The second option refers to 'Skype consumer' https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=53935
