What is the difference between Skype and Skype for Business
Hi,
We have had Skype for a few years.
We are interested in purchasing Skype for Business and installing on a Windows 10 PC.
Before we do so, we would like to know:
- What are the differences between Skype and Skype for Business
- How much does Skype for Business cost
- Where to buy Skype for Business
- Can a person with Skype for Business call someone using Skype and vice versa
- Can the same Skype for Business account be used on any Windows PC in different locations
- Do we need an Office 365 account or can we use Skype for Business without it
- Can Skype for Business be used in a location with low bandwidth
We appreciate your support with the above.
Thanks,
Robbie
