Skype for Business
Create a Skype Session Using the Full Version of MS Outlook. In the Calendar, click New Skype Meeting:
Invite attendees, choose a subject (i.e. name your event), and select meeting times before sending the invite:
Attend a Skype Meeting by opening the appointment in your calendar and either clicking
"Join Skype Meeting" and/or "Join by phone":
• The Join Skype Meeting allows presenters to share their screen and present video
and allows attendees to participate in chat sessions. To listen, users must have speakers
connected to their computer and microphone.
• Join by phone allows users to listen and speak. Some users prefer using their office
phone over computer microphones and speakers.
Use Skype Features to Participate in the Meeting:
• Use the conversation icon to send and receive text messages.
• Click the microphone icon to turn the microphone on and off.
• *Presenters Only* Use the Screen Icon to present your desktop and share Word files,
PowerPoints and more.
*TIPS*
• Keep your microphone muted unless you are talking
• If you join by both telephone and computer, be sure to turn off your computer speakers
to reduce feedback.
