Best practices for Skype for Business meeting

Skype for Business supports online meetings, dial-in and video and audio calls in one meeting request is used for these purposes. Skype for Business meeting support up to 250 participant including Skype online join, dial-in to meeting or call me at.

For Attendees

• Always use an audio device to avoid echoes or other audio issues.
• To prevent audio feedback, if other attendees are sitting in the same conference room, use only one computer to log on to the meeting.
• Mute your audio unless you are speaking.
• Do not take a call from your cell phone, particularly while driving. Road noise diminishes the meeting’s audio quality and driving while distracted is dangerous.
• Use a wired Ethernet connection whenever possible.
• If you are unable to join Skype meeting using Skype for Business client then use Skype Web App to join meeting. Simply adding ?sl=1 end of meeting URL. Example: https://bloguc.com/bilag/BO0ERTYS?sl=1

For Presenters

• Set up and test your audio devices 15-20 minutes before the start of your meeting (when possible).
• Provide a clear and complete invitation, including a meeting agenda.
• Join your meeting early to prepare your content (presentation). Upload slides or documents to be shared and start applications you want others to view during sharing.
• Use desktop sharing rather than program sharing whenever possible. Desktop sharing uses significantly fewer networking resources than program sharing.
• Set your screen display to 1024 x 768 pixels for the best viewing experience (800 x 600 portrait for tablet PCs).
• Mute participants who cause a poor audio experience.

From devices:

• You can use any device which has audio device connected including, Windows laptop/desktop, Mac Book, iOS, Android device and Polycom and Skype for Business conference rooms.
