Skype for Business (continued)

Know the Skype Shortcuts

Like every Office product, Skype for Business is crammed full of keyboard shortcuts to help you
get things done quickly.

• To begin with the basics:

press Windows key + Shift + O to accept an incoming invitation

or Windows key + Esc to decline it.
• To mute/unmute your audio,

press Windows key + F4.

• The camera works with Windows key + F5.

• When in a call,

press Ctrl + Shift + H to put it on hold,

or Alt + Q to end it entirely.
When sharing your screen, press Ctrl + Alt + S to stop doing so.

• Alternatively, if someone else has taken control of your screen, press Ctrl + Alt + Spacebar to

regain control.

Transfer to Mobile

If you’ve ever found yourself in the middle of a Skype for Business call and you need to leave the
computer, you can just switch the call to your mobile phone.

To set this up, go to Settings > Tools > Options > Phones > Mobile Phone…
Input your Phone number (include any country/region code) and click OK.

Now, when in a Skype for Business call, click the Call Controls button and then click Transfer.
Now select My Mobile and click Transfer.

You will get a call on your mobile which will automatically connect you into the Skype for
Business call.

The great thing about this is that you don’t need the Skype for Business application installed
on your phone. However, there’s no way to transfer the call back from the phone to Skype for
Business.
