Skype for Business 2015 being installed across campus

LLCC is in the process of upgrading Lync 2013 into Skype for Business 2015. Skype for Business 2015 is being installed gradually across campus. It will be available on your computer soon if it is not already. A restart may be required when the installation takes place on your machine.

Skype for Business 2015 will work the same way Lync 2013 does, the only changes will be in the name and in the look of the user interface.

Please contact the Help Desk if you have any questions at helpme@llcc.edu or 6-2555
