What is Skype for Business?
Skype for Business was an enterprise instant messaging and videotelephony application developed by Microsoft. It functioned as a cloud-based service within Microsoft 365 and allowed employees to connect with colleagues and external contacts via IM, voice, and video. Microsoft has since discontinued the product in favor of Microsoft Teams.
