Just a gentle reminder that Skype for Business, formerly Lync, is our corporate chat platform. One its best features is the Presence function. This automatically detects if you’re Available (at your PC), Away (no activity for five minutes or something), Busy (from your Outlook calendar) or Offline for X minutes/hours/days. It’s also got video conferencing and screen-sharing that make Skype look like MSN Messenger.
Since we’re spread all over the world it would be really helpful to be able to tell who is around (Presence shows up in Outlook and SharePoint as well) and be able to communicate.
You only need to sign in once and after that it will run automatically. If you need help getting it set up, let me know.
