When you set up a Skype meeting, the participants can either use the Skype client, Skype Web App or a phone to join the meeting.
1. Use your Outlook calendar to set up the meeting.
2. The meeting invitation will contain the various options for participants to join the meeting. Here you can see the telephone number as well as the conference ID. This information is required if you use a phone to call into the meeting. If you have a meeting with people outside AU who do not have Skype installed, they can also choose to click ”Try Skype Web App”. If Skype is installed, we recommend that you click ”Join Skype meeting”. Currently, it is only possible to use the Skype web app in Internet Explorer. At a later point in time, it will be possible to use other browsers.
You can skype with people you work with outside AU. Just use their SIP address (Skype address) to add them to your list of contacts in Skype. The SIP address is usually the same as their email address.
For optimum Skype performance, the SIP address (Skype address) and your AU email address should be the same. If the two addresses are not the same, the calendar integration between Skype and Outlook will not work, and your availability (presence) will not be updated automatically based on your calendar.
If you change your AU email address via mit.au.dk, or if you as an employee move to another department/unit and get a new email address, you must contact your local IT support team and ask them to update your SIP address in Skype. You can find contact information for IT support here.
Please note that it is not possible to make calls between Skype for Business and Skype (free version).
If you need to make a call to a person who does not have Skype for Business, you can set up a meeting in Outlook and invite the person to that meeting. The person in question will now be able to participate even though the person does not have Skype for Business.
If it is the first time you participate in a Skype for Business meeting, you will be asked to install a client on your computer before you can access the meeting.
