when sharing screen, enable laserpointer from just like when in presentaions.
when I share a PowerPoint presentation, the others can click the screen, an we all got a small laser dot with their name next to it, so we all can see where they click.
That feature is disabled for anything else than PowerPoint,
We want it for all presentations mode, especially when we just share the desktop.
that would enable a lot better collaboration and quicker meetings :)4,015 votes -

For example i have users they are advisors on some companies and have your corporate account and they have one account on other company, both using Office 365 or Lync server, the actual client only allow add one account, the user have to logout from one account and loggin to another. Can you provide some way to configure more than one account on Skype For Business? Like outlook does.

Ping attendees who haven't yet joined the meeting
As a meeting organizer I find myself reaching out to meeting attendees to see why they aren't yet in the meeting. It would save me a ton of time the meeting organizer had a 'ping' button that would either send email or a private IM message to any attendee that accepted the meeting invite but has not yet joined the meeting.

Save and send an IM when someone is offline
Save and send an IM when someone is offline. Sometimes you don’t want to send an email or you want to say something like “give me a call when you get in”. Having to ability to send an IM to someone offline that would “Auto send” once they come online would be useful. Especially when working with people around the world.

Add “Be back around XX:XX”.
Add “Be back around XX:XX”. It would be nice to have an option for “Be back around XX:XX” under my status where you could specify the time you will be back. If I look someone up and their status is be right back, I have no idea how long they have been away and when “right back” will actually be. People have a tendency to change their status back to Available when they return so one never knows. The function to state a time and have it go back to available automatically would be very useful, IMHO.

AutoCorrect like Microsoft Word
Some chat text gets automatically replaced be own defined rules, like for example "+5" get replaced by "Sorry for being late, meeting starts 5 minutes later". AutoText should be editable as in Microsoft Word.

An option to block a phone number
An option to block a phone number within Skype for unwanted callers like telemarketers should be added as a feature. There is already an option to change Privacy Relationships on users, you would think this would be a simple function Microsoft can add.

Group call with normal skype members
At the moment you can only have one on one calls with users from the ordinary skype but it would be great if you could have conference calls with more than one skype user as a lot of people I conference with are ordinary people who already use and love Skype. I understand skype for business is new but please try to merge skype and sfb more and as quickly as possible because if not many people would simply not make the conversion. I've seen online that I'm not the only one who is trying to make the move from…

Ability to send and view screenshots in the IM window without having to save, attach, open files or start a meeting.
Add the ability to insert screen shots into an IM window and have it be fully viewable to all parties involved without having to save it as a file and attach to the IM where it may or may not open for the chat partner. Yes, one could start a meeting, but depending on what is on the desktop being shared, a person may not want the chat partner to be in full view of anything else that may be open or toggled through at the time. IBM's Sametime system has this function and it was quite effective in case…
