Skype for Salesforce

Skype for Salesforce integrates Salesforce and Skype for Business, so your sales and service reps can send and receive instant messages and see colleague’s availability without leaving Salesforce. If Notes is enabled in your org, reps can also save IM chats as notes and attach them to Salesforce records. Skype for Salesforce is available only if your business has a Microsoft Office 365 Enterprise plan that includes Skype for Business Online, or a Skype for Business Online license.

Note: Skype for Salesforce is available only in Lightning Experience.

From Setup, enter Skype for Salesforce in the Quick Find box, then select Skype for Salesforce.
