Set up support for creating and joining 
Skype for Business
 meetings

If you plan to support 
Skype for Business
 for calendar and meeting features in 
BlackBerry Work
, you require the following:
Also note the following considerations:
  • The 
    Skype for Business
     account and the 
    Microsoft Exchange
     server must be in the same domain.
  • Skype for Business
     does not support shared calendars.
  1. Ensure that the following DNS names are added to the DNS server:
    • lyncdiscoverinternal.<domain>
    • lyncdiscover.<domain>
    • meet.<domain>
    For details, see:
  2. Add these FQDN names to the connectivity profile in the Additional Servers section. For details on configuring the connectivity profile, see Configure BlackBerry Work connection settings.
  3. Enable 
    Skype for Business
     in the app configuration for 
    BlackBerry Work
    . For details, see Configure BlackBerry Work app settings
    • Select the 
      Allow to create Skype for Business meetings in calendar
       option to allow users to add 
      Skype for Business
       meetings to their calendars.
    • Select the 
      Allow launching into Skype for Business app on mobile
       option to allow users to make voice and video calls and to be able to join 
      Skype for Business
       meetings directly from a calendar invitation. The meeting is automatically opened in the 
      Skype for Business
       client and users must have the 
      Skype for Business
       client installed on their devices.
    • In the 
      Domain of Skype for Business meeting link
       field, enter the FQDN of the 
      Skype for Business
       meeting links to allow internal users to use the Join meeting button in event details. By entering this domain name, 
      BlackBerry Work
       knows which domain to use if links are created by users in a different domain in 
      Microsoft Outlook
       or the 
      Outlook
       Web App.
