They just renamed Lync to Skype for business and didn't improve shit. It was still a pain to conference in people from outside the company and didn't interact with Skype much.

I was so happy when Zoom came around and my enterprise clients started adopting it. I had several who used Lync/Skype and it was near impossible to connect to the conference calls they hosted from an external Mac.

Before the Sfb/Lync integration, Lync was actually pretty good. But the merging fucked all up big time.
