I had to use the so called "skype for entreprise". If you think skype went down, wait to try it, it's everything you ever dreaded, and more. It should be the example in wikipedia for the article "failure".
With the exploding number of chat apps, individual past, preferences and technical level I gave up on the whole rich client thing.
With all my customers I now use https://appear.in https://appear.in
It doesn't have great noise cancellation, the chat sucks and you can't send files.
But it works without any setup and little technical knowledge from my customers. They go to the address, click "accept" a bunch of times, and we see each others. We can even share screens.

- extra88 8y agoDo you mean "Skype for Business?" That is Microsoft Lync rebranded to take advantage of Skype's better name recognition. Skype and Skype for Business share nothing but a name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skype_for_Business https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skype_for_Business
- dade_ 8y agoSkype for business is finally going away, though slowly, to be replaced by Teams.
- rasjani 8y agoBut judging from some error messages I’ve seen, it looks like the voice capabilities in teams are still just embedded Lync/Skype. Might be wrong.
- nathanaldensr 8y agoIf you spy on the API calls Microsoft Teams makes, you will see several Skype-branded domains involved in the overall process. It's likely they are still relying significantly on Skype back-end technology.
