Add support for 64-bit devices in the Skype for Business App SDK for Android
Starting August 1, 2019, apps published on Google Play will need to support 64-bit architectures, see https://developer.android.com/distribute/best-practices/develop/64-bit.
Lacking the support, apps built upon the Skype for Business App SDK for Android vill only support devices that do not run Android 9 Pie or later.

Chat session, have the ability to turn off flashing icon when chat is updated from participant.
Essentially, chats in the background, the icon flashes, beeps when your not actively in the chat instance. I would like the ability to disable the Flashing icon on the Task bar, or least disable the beeping noise per chat instance when the a chat is updated by one of the participates.

Status icons
I have used another conference system that allowed some status icons in the participants screen. It had visual icons for statuses such as 'shortly away' or 'can't hear' as well as for votes like 'yes' and 'no' etc. That way it was really good to obtain an overview of the participants and their status. I would love to have such functionality in Skype (for B) as well. Now I do not see anything of this nature.

Add different style fonts!
The font is so boring. It would be cool if there was an option to have the same fonts as Microsoft word

Make broadcast.skype.com API publicly available
Currently there is no public API available for creating/updating/deleting meetings with the broadcast.skype.com website.
However, there seems to be an API for it already, but it is not public.
Can you please make it public so everyone can use it, to create/update/delete meetings via external applications?

Autofill Contacts from within the Orgazniation
You have Skype for Business, Why can't everyone in the office that has it be automatically added to your contacts. Why do I have to add them one by one, or by group?
I install SfB...and presto-everyone else in the company is already in my contacts list! May get messy with multiple locations...or places with 1000+ but, that is what groups/favorites are for.

Add user's local time and time zone to user info window
What would it take to show what time it is for the person you are chatting to. Example: someone in Austin, TX talking to someone in India. You could put their local clock/time zone up in the user info box that is at the top of the chat window.
Thanks

Change the colors in conversations. The two current blue colors are too similar and sometimes hard to distinguish between.
Change the colors in conversations to blue and red. They cant be two different tones of blue which can very confusing.

Managing IM Chats (specially auto scrolling)
I find that when having an IM chat, were it goes on for a while (more than a page) then thje "autocrolling" does not work and it has to be done manually to enable one to continue the conversation.

Ability to react to an emoticon
I tried to react to my buddies emoticon where it gives you the finger, but was unable to. It would be useful to be able to give this a thumbs up or something.
