The Skype dashboard also provides access to upcoming appointments, recent phone calls and chats, and a "Quick Join" icon to quickly jump into meetings. iOS users will find their phone contacts are included in the search capabilities. The Skype for Business preview delivers a simple dashboard interface, which directs you to an updated contact search bar for browsing your global address list for first names, last names, email addresses, or phone numbers. Microsoft today rolled out a preview version of the service on iOS and Android smartphones. If you're not on Windows Phone and wanted to try Skype for Business on mobile, you can now do so.

Over the last few months, the team has released the Skype for Business client for Windows, Skype for Business Online in Office 365, Skype for Business Server, and Skype for Business app on Windows Phone. Draw a smiley face or a sad face and that emoji will show up.Now we're seeing the pattern continue with Microsoft's new Skype for Business platform. Well, maybe not your true inner artist, but maybe your kindergarten inner artist. Choose “Draw emoji”, and let your inner artist take a hold. Trust me, I know how that feels.Ĭontinuing on with the update, replying with emojis is a thing too. There are pre-loaded responses already created for you just in case you’re busy getting to the bank before it closes or too lazy to speak on your own. Mute and pause are also options when on the phone. Need to hang up on that person because they angered you? A hang up option will show on the watch. If you do answer it, just pick up your phone and start speaking to the person who called you. You can answer or decline phone calls like you would if you’re not using Skype. The update allows you to read and respond to messages, as already mentioned above, and you can also start conversations from your Android Wear device. If you have one of these Wear devices, either the Asus Zenwatch, Huawei Watch, the LG Watch Urbane, or the Moto 360, you’re one of the lucky ones.

User of Skype and Android Wear rejoice! The day has come where the two can become one as the Skype app for Android has been updated to version 6.4 and allows you to start or continue conversations with your Android Wear device.
