CCI Tech Tip Tuesdays

You don't have to have a Skype application open to chat with your colleagues. If you are using Outlook on the web, you can use Skype directly in the Outlook interface. Just login to instant messenger by clicking your name, and then click the Skype icon to find your colleagues and start chatting! ​ Learn more about how to find and chat with colleagues in web Outlook here

Using Skype, you can easily instant message colleagues but can also video chat with them,   or anyone else using Skype for business .  All you need is a webcam, and a headset.

E-mail doesn't always cut it for those quick, real-time conversations with colleagues.  While there are many chat options, Skype for Business is the OCA standard and all CCI employees already have accounts!  You can even use it from your web Outlook, and send messages to multiple people. So it's a great option when you want to check in with your colleagues. Remember to always stay logged in.
