Set up support for Skype for Business

If you plan to support Skype for Business for calendar and meeting features in BlackBerry Work, you require the following:
Also note the following considerations:
  • The Skype for Business account and the Microsoft Exchange server must be in the same domain.
  • Skype for Business does not support shared calendars.
  1. Ensure that the following DNS names are added to the DNS server:
    • lyncdiscoverinternal.<domain>
    • lyncdiscover.<domain>
    • meet.<domain>
    For details, see:
  2. Add these FQDN names to the connectivity profile in the Additional Servers section. For details on configuring the connectivity profile, see Configure BlackBerry Work connection settings.
  3. Enable Skype for Business in the app configuration for BlackBerry Work. For details, see Configure BlackBerry Work app settings.
    • Select the Allow to create Skype for Business meetings in calendar option to allow users to add Skype for Business meetings to their calendars.
    • Select the Allow launching into Skype for Business app on mobile option to allow users to make voice and video calls and to be able to join Skype for Business meetings directly from a calendar invitation. The meeting is automatically opened in the Skype for Business client and users must have the Skype for Business client installed on their devices.

    • In the Domain of Skype for Business meeting link field, enter the fully qualified domain name or the domain-only portion of the Skype for Business meeting server to allow internal users to use the Join meeting button in the event details. For example, meet.example.com or example.com. By entering this domain name, BlackBerry Work can locate which meeting link to capture from the meeting invitation if it is different from the user's email address domain.
