Enable Exchange and Outlook Integration in Skype

Skype is turned as most important chat tool of Windows and the features added to this application are special compared to other chat programs. However, we have received some issues with the Skype like members who have Skype access are not able to see the user’s status on outlook application.

No matter which version of MS office you are using if you have Skype for business or Skype application installed on your computer you can see the status of Skype users on your outlook. For example, if person A is having Skype account then you can check the status of A in outlook if user is online or offline.

If you are unable to view the status that means feature in Skype is disabled. Just go through the steps and you can enable the feature on your machine. Open Skype application and select Settings. Inside that click on Tools and then options. Go to Personal Tab and select “Sync contact info between Skype for business and exchange”. Some other options are available for outlook usage and you can check if any of the options is required.

Users who are using Lync will also get the similar option, though if they are unable to find such feature they should upgrade their Lync application to Skype for business. Here, the important factor Skype for business is for commercial usage so you might have to pay some extra amount for license of the application if you are not the corporate user.

Upgrade of Lync to Skype for business will take around 20 minutes to perform the task and user must have O365 account to download the latest upgraded Skype for business application. There are chances that you will get error at the time of installation of application. That occurs if you are not having admin permissions on your computer.
