What is needed in order to use Skype For Business?<br />
Basically, we'd like to use Skype For Business to share screens and chat between two persons in our company but our company is NOT using Office 365.<br />
So we downloaded and installed Skype For Business. On the Sign In page, we see the message &quot;Use the sign-in address for your organization - not a Skype Name or Microsoft account&quot;.<br />
Please see attached screen shot.<br />
<br />
What is the &quot;sign-in address for your origanization&quot;? How can we get it? Does this mean that we have to open an O365 account and be a subscriber? <br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Office 365 is a group of software plus services subscriptions that provides productivity software and related services to its subscribers. Office 365 allows the use of Microsoft Office apps on Windows and OS X, provides storage space on Microsoft's cloud storage service OneDrive, and grants 60 Skype minutes per month. Office 365 includes e-mail and social networking services through hosted versions of Exchange Server, Skype for Business Server, SharePoint and Office Online, integration with Yammer, as well as access to the Office software. All of Office 365's components can be managed and configured through an online portal; users can be added manually, imported from a CSV file, or Office 365 can be set up for single sign-on with a local Active Directory using Active Directory Federation Services.

Skype is for doing things together, whenever you’re apart. Skype’s text, voice and video make it simple to share experiences with the people that matter to you, wherever they are.

With Skype, you can share a story, celebrate a birthday, learn a language, hold a meeting, work with colleagues – just about anything you need to do together every day. You can use Skype on whatever works best for you - on your phone or computer or a TV with Skype on it. It is free to start using Skype - to speak, see and instant message other people on Skype for example.
