Skype/Lync for Business

Your Skype list is empty the first time you log in. To add people, you can search for the person individually or as a group.

Individually, you can search the person’s name in the search box (faster method) OR click the person icon and choose Add a contact in my org. Either method, once you have search for the person, you will right-click, choose add to contacts list, choose the list.

** By default you have two lists – favorites and Other Contacts **

Adding people by department, you can search for the department (research medical library), select the first person, hold the CTRL key down, select the other people you want to add, right click on one of the highlighted names, choose add to contacts list, choose the list.

How to create a group for contacts (two options)

Your status is usually set based on your Outlook calendar, but you change your status anytime you want. You can do this by opening your Skype for Business window, and clicking on the drop-down menu located below your name. This status will remain until you make a change or until you have an event schedule on your Outlook calendar.
