Do i have skype or skype for business

Confused about the differences between Skype and Skype for Business? These applications are similar, but not identical.

Skype is great for home and works well for very small organizations. If you want to use Skype at work, you have two options—either use the same Skype that you use at home or use Skype for Business.

Skype for Business is great for larger organizations and lets you add a lot more people to online meetings, gives you enterprise-grade security, allows you to manage employee accounts, and is integrated into your Office apps.

If you're not sure if you're using Skype or Skype for Business, look under Help > About. It will show either Skype or Skype for Business.

What are the differences between Skype and Skype for Business?
