A. Skype for Business (formerly Microsoft Lync) is a communications and collaboration platform that brings together an experience inspired by Skype with enterprise-grade security, compliance and control. It offers features including presence, IM, voice and video calls, and online meetings. Since it is built right in to Microsoft Office, initiating chats, calls and meetings is an integrated experience within Office.
Q. How can I access the technical preview of the Skype for Business client?
A. Current Lync customers in the U.S. can access the Skype for Business Client Preview in the TechNet Evaluation Center. Customers outside the U.S. can access it here. The Skype for Business Client Preview will be available from March 16 – April 30, 2015.
Q. What is the difference between the Skype for Business technical preview and the Office 16 preview also announced today, which also includes Skype for Business?
