Skype for Business – Our Top Tips
Maximise meeting attendance
Add a Skype Link to all your Outlook meetings. When it pops up, click the link and Skype for
Business will automatically launch it. Gone is the worry of manually inviting people into a call—if
they’re on the invitation, they can join.
If you can’t see the Skype Meeting button, you just need to make a quick change in your Outlook
settings.
1. Go to File > Options > Add-ins.
2. On the Manage dropdown select COM Add-ins and click Go…
3. Tick the box next to Skype Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office and click OK. Done!
Share your screen
The ability to share your screen is
a fantastic function of Skype for
Business. You can talk people through
a document, bring up a web page, or
show anything else that is relevant to
the meeting.
Once in the call, click
the screen share icon
(beneath the callers, next
to the microphone.) Here you will be
able to share your entire screen or a specific window.
You will see an outline around the content that is being shared with others and you can use
the controls at the top of the screen—handy for when you need to stop sharing.
