Skype for Business Retirement; Try Teams!
In late 2017, Microsoft announced that it is phasing out Skype for Business (Lync) in favor of its new product, Teams. As of today, all features of Skype for Business are found in Teams, and, to stay ahead of Microsoft’s product retirement schedule, Northwestern IT is ending support of the software in August 2019, transitioning users to Microsoft Teams.
