I have covered this in a previous blog post here If you need to call someone externally, you that extra step of pressing the Enter a URI button.Īlso if you are going to living in a mixed mode environment for a while, then SfB default might be better as the default as there is one less tap when dialling into meetings.įinally, if you have Pexip Infinity Gateway, then you can expand the reach of the MTR and dial any standards based video codec. If you are moving to Teams at a fast past and want that initial burple interface on the left hand side, then go for Teams default. You can still dial anyone and also any SIP URI into a Virtual Meeting Room (VMR) on another platform and still connect to Teams Meetings with a single Join button. If you are still predominantly a Skype for Business shop with using federation, that I would probably take the SfB Default mode. The below image shows the UI when in Teams default mode You have the press Dial a URI in the bottom left corner. You can contact anyone within your Teams directory but you can’t connect to any SIP URI. When using the Microsoft Teams (default) with Skype for Business, the home screen is the same as above, but when you press New Meeting, the UI is slightly different as you can see below. The above interface is true for Skype for Business Mode or Skype for Business (default) and Microsoft Teams.
It means I can dial any SfB user or SIP URI. So then when I press New Meeting I am presented with the following UI. Below is the user interface, when in the SfB only Skype for Business Only Mode – Home Screen Also when in SfB mode only, you can dial any URI directly, so you can connect to a third party service such as Pexip, Webex, Zoom, Bluejeans etc if they have a SfB URI to dial. In Skype for Business mode only, if the MTR receives a Teams invite it will not be able to process it. So what are the differences? Well the User Interface (UI) is slightly different. – Microsoft Teams (default) and Skype for Business – Skype for Business (default) and Microsoft Teams There are three options available in the MTR client, these are Microsoft Teams lets you host audio, video, and web conferences with anyone inside or outside your organization.
#SKYPE FOR BUSINESS VS TEAMS FREE#
It is free to use, unless you want to buy credit to make calls to landlines and mobiles. This significantly streamlines workflows for all team members. Skype that you use at home is great for smaller businesses of up to 20 employees. Users can quickly access the files and apps they use most often for increased convenience. This means the MTR can operate in a SfB mode or Teams mode. Microsoft Teams offers a lot more integrations than Skype for Businessover 150 third-party apps to enable greater productivity.
#SKYPE FOR BUSINESS VS TEAMS SOFTWARE#
The current MTR software is built on the same platform as the SRSv2. Well the answer is quite simple, its the same. One question that I get asked quite a lot is the capabilities when transitioning from Skype to Teams, how does the Skype Room System v2 (aka SRSv2 or Rigel) work with Teams in a room environment with the renamed Microsoft Teams Room (MTR)?
