Skype for Business customers will be able to reach Skype users not only for instant messaging chats and audio calls, but also for video calls, Microsoft said. The upcoming Skype for Business client on Windows looks like a slightly-tweaked version of the current Lync client.Īlthough the two will continue to focus on different pools of users, Skype for Business will include some elements of the consumer-Skype user interface (UI) and expand the current Lync-Skype interoperability. Since then, Microsoft has maintained two lines of instant messaging and video conferencing software - Skype for consumers and Lync for businesses - with the latter pitched as an inside-the-perimeter communications platform that also handles VoIP (voice over Internet protocol) telephony chores. The rebranding comes more than three years after Microsoft acquired Skype for $8.5 billion.
