The telephony is being moved from Skype to Teams

In 2023, Umeå University will move its telephony from Skype to Teams in Microsoft 365.

Skype is one of the university's tools for making calls and arranging digital meetings. Microsoft will not continue to develop Skype and has chosen to develop telephony in Teams instead. Therefore, we will replace Skype with Teams in Microsoft 365.

Teams is already used by many to chat, have digital meetings and collaborate. Teams offers the same functionality for telephony as Skype.

Prepare for telephony in Teams

If you're not already using Teams, it's a good idea to start using the app now. Download Microsoft 365 via Software center (PC), Self Service (Mac) or follow this instruction:
