So, it's 9/6/2017. This will probably go unanswered as so many other messages have. The page I was given before updating us with release notes () doesn't seem to be getting updated anymore (I've had at least one update since 8/15 but more than likely two). It's extremely difficult to believe that any of the features people have lobbied for are being considered or even being worked on. We're still years behind the windows version.
Mac Extraordinaire: If you just want to setup the default user that is logged in when you open Skype, you can do so by choosing to LOG OUT in Skype and log in with the Account that you wish to be setup as default. Then close Skype. When you open Skype, that last account will be the one that comes up. The skype settings aren't actually located in the program. They are located in the main settings of the ipad. So as if you were adjusting accounts, etc, that you would normally navigate to for specifically the ipad, go into those settings.
Hello, Ben: Just after you wrote this, I discussed your post with our team. I prepared an answer, but I went on vacation the next day and it never got posted. In the crush of getting caught up after my vacation, I didn't realize that this was never answered. Skype for Business on Mac (SfB Mac) is a new app, written from the ground up, to replace Lync for Mac 2011. Every rewrite project I‘ve ever seen suffers from the problem of spending a large (or huge) effort just to rebuild what its predecessor had, and SfB Mac is no exception. From launch, we have acknowledged that the app is missing features that customers need, and we continually work to fill in those gaps. We prioritize work almost entirely based on customer feedback to ship the most critical features soonest.

We release updates monthly in order to deliver value as quickly possible. Unfortunately, the wait time can be longer for customers with on-premises servers, since many features require a server change. While we are steadily working to close the gaps compared to Skype for Business on Windows, the reality is that SfB Mac will never have full parity with the Windows version. There are several reasons for this. The Windows app has many features that are rarely used, and most customers don’t need us to recreate them in SfB Mac. In some cases, platform limitations prevent us from implementing features.
(For example, the Windows feature of taking control of a someone’s shared screen is heavily dependent on Windows remote-desktop services that aren’t there on the Mac. To recreate it would mean rearchitecting the sharing infrastructure for all of SfB.) In other cases, the architecture of the Mac app (which is different than for the Windows app) makes it prohibitively expensive to implement some features. The Mac is an important platform, and we want to create an excellent experience, but it won’t be an exact experience as on Windows. With respect to the specific issues you list: • Screen sharing – screen sharing is available now, but we do not plan to support remote control (because of the platform limitations explained above) • Tabbed chat windows for those with IM archiving disabled – we have an architectural limitation that prevents this feature • Multiple conversations with the same person – we are testing a change now to mitigate this • Update status based on Exchange calendar states – this is in our plan for Q1 of 2018 • File sharing – this is available in one-to-one IM conversations. File sharing in meetings is in our plan for Q1 of 2018 I sympathize with your frustration.
Rest assured that we do listen to your feedback. We can't take on everything at once, but customer input is the primary criteria for prioritizing our product decisions. Please continue to post and tell us what you need and what you think.
