Microsoft Launches Skype for Business for Android

Microsoft (MSFT) is now enabling Android users to leverage its video communications solution. 

The company has launched Skype for Business for Android, an app designed to enable Android users to “be more productive while on the go.”

So what should Android users expect from Skype for Business? Microsoft noted the app features:

The new Skype for Business app for Android is now available in the Google Play store.

In addition, Microsoft said Android users with Lync 2013 will be automatically updated to the Skype for Business app based on their device settings.

Skype for Business users should expect further upgrades in the future, too. 

“We will continue to bring new features to our mobile apps with regular updates. Look out for integration with Microsoft Intune, which simplifies application management and corporate data protection and lets your users access the app from their mobile devices even more securely,” Praveen Maloo, product manager of the Skype for Business team, wrote in a blog post.
