Getting your friends to use skype is as easy getting them to switch to windows phone. I used to have skype to speak with friends abroad, but most have switched to Whatsapp... I now use whatsapp.
- tgb 10y agoI don't understand. The article specifically says it's not for office 365 users.
- Nullabillity 10y agoIn my experience most people tend to at least have it installed. But yeah, Hangouts has much better quality (especially screen sharing is night and day) and a much lower barrier to entry (no business email requirement, no client to install if your browser supports WebRTC, no region restriction, higher client limit).
- xiaoma 10y ago> no region restriction Hangouts doesn't work in China, undeniably a major if not the major online market. Skype does.
- Nullabillity 10y agoFair enough then, less region restriction, since this thing only works in the US.
- WorldMaker 10y agoNo, this states this is free, small conference support for non-Office 365 teams. (Office 365 teams already have Skype for Business with fewer restrictions on the number of people in a conference.) This is also a Web-based Skype for Business (nee Lync) mini-client, not to be confused with desktop Skype (Consumer) clients (which has its own conferencing system which is also different and with different limitations). One of the cases where Skype and Skype for Business branding is unnecessarily confusing. It does seem to be a small concession to teams currently using Google's Hangouts in the hopes of upselling those teams to try the rest of Office 365.
