Last but not least, Microsoft has already announced that Teams will be replacing SFB and when sunset occurs, it isn't clear.Īt its core, SFB allows you to select another SFB user from a contact list and from there, start an instant message conversation, make a call (video if you have that capability), or share your screen. It offers a variety of plan options at attractive prices, though making sense of that spider web proves difficult (see here). It seamlessly integrates with Outlook from where you can create Skype meetings and populate your contact list. Any business using the Microsoft ecosystem, particularly small businesses, should take a look at SFB. It serves as a lightweight collaboration tool. It’s an important distinction to make since SFB should not be viewed as a phone replacement or VOIP Service. Please note this is a separate product from Skype for consumers. If you’ve ever used Microsoft Lync, then you’re in luck – Lync was rebranded to Skype for Business in 2015, refining Lync’s core functionalities ever since. It's a shame MS can't provide more clarification - the message could actual tell you what you have installed or how to correct the issue.Skype for Business (SFB) is a business-focused app that allows you to instant message, phone and video call, screen share, host and record meetings, and generally collaborate with your colleagues. For example - trying to open or save directly to O365 from an application wouldn't work and you would see error messages. When you have both on your system some things stop working - particularly with the integration with online products or web based products.
Technically - there are ways to get these both on your system, but it's not a good idea which is why Microsoft blocks you. Here - you have to download the entire package and then install it before you can use office. It basically streams the application down to you - and you can actually start using it before it's installed completely.Īs you uncovered another versions is what is called MSI based - this is the traditional install method for windows applications.
Microsoft has two different versions of office.įrom the O365 Portal you get what is called "click to run" - which installs via a streaming service. This message is pretty clear if you work in IT - but not very clear if you don't deal with installing packages all day.
