Skype for Business also supports sharing your display. This allows you to show other call participants your desktop or any program you may wish. For instance, you can share a PowerPoint presentation or a Word document you're collaborating on. Alternatively, you can use this feature to show your colleagues how to fix a particular problem or issue on your own computer.

As this service is a derivative of Skype (Microsoft purchased Skype and used this as a basis for Lync, which became Skype for Business), you may also interact with Skype users. All you need to invite a Skype contact is the e-mail address they used for their Skype account.
