Does Skype for Business support guest access?

Head of Product

Yes, Skype for Business allows guest access, letting you invite external users to your meetings. This feature is useful for collaboration with clients, partners, or anyone without a Skype for Business account. To invite guests, send them a meeting link they can use to join without creating an account. The process is straightforward. When scheduling a meeting, select options to invite guest users and generate a link to share via email or other means. Guests can join through a web browser or any device that supports Skype for Business. However, your organization's settings may restrict the features available to guests, so check those before the meeting. Guest access allows collaboration with outside parties, but guest users may not have access to some advanced features that regular users do. If your meeting relies heavily on specific tools, verify that everyone involved has the necessary access to participate fully. If you frequently collaborate with external stakeholders, using the guest access feature simplifies communication and makes your meetings more inclusive.
