While the explanations and illustrations are fairly detailed, most users will find SfB to be fairly intuitive and user-friendly. This module is designed to walk you through installation and use. This module will refer to Skype for Business (Lync) as ' SfB'. Skype for Business lets you host up to 250 people in online meetings, and it provides a more secure online environment. The free version of Skype is good for personal use, but has many limitations compared to Skype for Business. Note also that Skype for Business is NOT the same as the free version of Skype for home. Some Boston University support information may still refer to Lync, but these are identical.
Lync was the name of the original product, but the name changed in 2015. NOTE: This module focuses on the installation and use of Skype for Business (aka Lync), which are synonymous.
