Major Capabilities

  • Instant messaging: Users inside and outside of an organization can use IM over the Skype for Business desktop clients. They can also use a web-based interface to connect with most popular IM clients.

  • Live audio and video conferencing: Skype for Business Server is compatible with Microsoft RoundTable or any device that supports Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) or Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP).
  • Encrypted communication: Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) protect sensitive information without limiting software functionality and eliminate the need for remote users to establish virtual private network (VPN) connections.

Licensing

  • Standard CAL: For IM, presence, or PC-to-PC audio and video communications.
