MS Teams is intended to be the successor to Skype for Business and is now available to all staff and students. 

MS Teams combines workplace chat, video and audio calls, meetings, notes and files and integrates many Office 365 applications, such as SharePoint Online, Planner and Stream, placing them in one easy to reach location.

Whilst Skype for Business can still currently be used, Skype for Business will be disabled within the University on September 1st 2019 we will be disabling Skype4Buisness.
