Skype Meetings App
Skype for Business (also known as the Skype Meetings App) is Microsoft's enterprise instant messaging and video conferencing platform. It enables employees to conduct voice and video calls, schedule and join meetings, share screens and content, and manage presence status across an organization. The app integrates with Microsoft Exchange and Active Directory in corporate environments and supports federation with other organizations. It is used by teams, department groups, and entire companies for real-time collaboration, remote meetings, and scheduled conferences.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSkype for Business is an actively maintained business application, but as an Intel-only app it will stop working when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). Currently there is no confirmed native Apple Silicon build available from Microsoft. If your organization relies on Skype for Business for meetings and collaboration, contact your IT department or Microsoft support directly to ask about Apple Silicon support and roadmap. Microsoft has been transitioning enterprise users from Skype for Business to Microsoft Teams, which does have native Apple Silicon support — your organization may already have a Teams license available. Teams is the modern Microsoft unified communications platform and runs natively on M-series Macs, so if your workplace has adopted Teams, that is the straightforward path forward. For now, the app continues to work under Rosetta, but you have until September 2028 to plan your transition.
