- Added Retirement of support for Third-Party Audio Conferencing Providers in Skype for Business Online - action required by April 1, 2019
Retirement of support for Third-Party Audio Conferencing Providers in Skype for Business Online
Status: Active
Action Required by: April 1, 2019
Details: Beginning April 1, 2019, we are retiring support of our integration of third-party audio conferencing providers (ACP) in Skype for Business Online Meetings. On April 1, 2019, the following changes will be observed:
- Participants who attempt to join any Skype for Business meeting via dial-in numbers provided by a third-party ACP service will no longer be connected to the Skype for Business meeting
- Users enabled for a third-party ACP service will no longer have their dial-in information automatically included in any new Skype for Business meeting invites
To prepare for this change, we encourage affected organizations to notify their enabled users of this planned update prior to April 1, 2019. After this date, users can continue to use Skype for Business with no interruption to their online meetings; however, organizations will need to enable their users for Audio Conferencing if they require dial-in audio conferencing with Skype for Business or Microsoft Teams.
Depending on the desired end state of the organization, there are three paths that can be followed:
- Migrate to Microsoft Audio Conferencing
- Continue to separately use a third-party audio conferencing provider
- Stop using dial-in conferencing altogether
For more information, please review the details provided at the link below in "Additional Information".
Additional Information: End of life program for the integration of Skype for Business with third-party audio conferencing providers
