However, in order to move to Teams Only mode, the user’s corresponding Skype for Business account must be homed into Skype for Business Online. To clear up what how each mode works, here is a visual diagram that shows each mode and the capabilities provided by each client.Ĭoexistence modes and available capabilitiesĬoexistence modes are applicable for both users homed in Skype for Business Online and on-premises or hybrid scenarios.
Chat is available in the Teams client, but only during meetings, and is not available for 1-to-1 chats. Each client is still only responsible for specific tasks without any overlap between the two. This gives the user a first-class meeting experience in the Teams client, while still using Skype for Business for chatting and calling. The second currently unavailable mode is Skype for Business with Teams Collaboration and Meetings, and it takes the previous mode a step further by moving the ability to schedule meetings to Teams. The concepts of teams and channels can be explored in Teams without worrying about chatting, calling, and meetings. If the overlapping functionality of calling and chatting with the two clients might confuse your users, this would be a good mode to start with, as it will distinguish each client with only certain capabilities, without overlap. Users will not have the ability to use Teams for calling, chatting, or scheduling meetings, and these options will be removed in the Teams client. As the name suggests, Skype for Business with Teams collaboration will give Skype for Business chatting, calling, and meeting scheduling abilities while Teams is only available with teams and channels. The first is Skype for Business with Teams collaboration. The last two modes are currently not available in the admin portal, as they do not yet have the components in the service to be enforced. There is also an option in the admin portal that will determine if the user can join these meetings via the Skype desktop client or the Skype meetings app. However, this mode does not prevent the end user from joining Skype for Business meetings, as they may still receive invitations from coworkers or external partners. When this mode is applied, the user is considered upgraded to Teams, as they will no longer use Skype for Business. As its name suggests, the end user will use only Teams for calling, chatting, and scheduling meetings. However, this mode is not currently enforced, as it will not remove any access to Teams for Teams and channels access. All incoming calls and chat messages are routed to Skype for Business, where the user can schedule meetings. The next mode is Skype for Business Only. Starting in this mode can drive Team adoption more quickly. This is usually a good coexistence mode to start with if the end user can understand the difference between the products and can handle having the same functionality in both. Inside of Teams, the user will have access to teams and channel functionality. An incoming call from other Teams or Skype for Business users will land in the end user’s same client. The end user can use all functionality in both products, such as calling, chatting, and scheduling meetings. This mode treats Skype for Business and Microsoft Teams like they are two separate products.
