Skype for Business coming to Android soon
The mobile version of Skype‘s Business edition that allows video conferencing with up to 250 people is soon coming to Android and iOS devices. Launched by Microsoft two months ago, the service integrates into MS Office Calendar and lets users send group messages and participate in video chats.
The upcoming mobile app will feature a dashboard where you can find your scheduled meetings, search contacts and read recent conversations. To find a contact, you simply have to enter either their first name, last name, email or phone number. You can also keep a tab of your meetings by clicking on the read more option of your calendar.
The app, which will hit the Android devices sometime later this year, is currently open for preview by businesses. Corporate IT administrators can nominate up to eight employees (four Android and four iOS users) to participate in the preview by signing up on http://www.skypepreview.com before August 14th. If they are accepted for the preview, Skype will send them an email notifying them about the same by August 17th.
