is it ok to add personal contact in skype for business?
Is it this way at all companies? Is it because it's using Lync under the covers? Is our CTO pushing garbage MS office products because he was previously employed by Microsoft? 🤔
My previous 2 companies used Slack. Now I use a monstrosity called “Skype for business” and it’s a totally unusable mess. The UI is terrible and it doesn’t keep history of conversations properly. If you close the chat window with a person the history is lost forever. Slacks keeps the history. Slac...Read more
When I use Skype for Business, historical IM messages are not saved for me to be able to see. Is it saved in the background, and do the HR or legal department of companies have the ability to search through their messages?

Some company wants to do a phone interview with me using Skype for Business. They even sent me the Skype link for it. I was under the impression business Skype does not work on personal accounts.

If you work at Microsoft could you please ask HR to fire Skype UX team. How come redesign is so terrible? Or it's targeting kids on purpose in order to promote Microsoft teams for business?

For example im interviewing with Stripe. I know like the very basic of what business they are in, but not much more. Is that okay? Or should I do alot more research. Just a tech/skype screen.
wondering if anyone feels a need to use these with wfh and ms having a non changeable 5 minutes timeout At least with Skype for Business you could set it to something slightly higher until IT policy resets it on reboot https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07VHBQQVG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_P7SM83GDE76...Read more
Good article on another Microsoft failure. Internet Explorer had 95% market share in 2001. Now, it’s less than 5%. Skype isn’t the only high-flying product that Microsoft has fumbled. Two decades ago, Internet Explorer, its web browser, was so dominant and popular that it drew the attention of fed...Read more
My manager pinged me through Skype for Business while I was active, but I didn’t notice the notification until 30 minutes later since I had focus assist on. Does this look bad, or is this not a big deal? He was just generally checking in on me and asking me if I had any problems this week. #hybrid #...Read more
So, MS just announced they're gonna switch/rename their corporate communicator solution yet *again*: First we had Microsoft Office Communicator. Then we got Microsoft Lync. Then this was changed to Skype For Business. NOW they scrap it again and it'll be (a part of) MS Office Teams. What will be c...Read more
I'm a new grad and need to approach folks to understand the system that have built for the last 4-5 years. To some level I'm dependent on them for the context/business/tech. But I see some folks just maintain their availability status as "private" and then they barely reply... Wtf!! Been 2 hrs of ...Read more
