Join by Phone connects you to the conference call if you are using a home or cell phone. It connects you through Skype for Business Online if you are using Skype for Business Online Phone Edition or the Skype for Business Dial pad.
Conference ID required when prompted. You are not prompted when using Join Online Meeting or Meeting Hyperlink.

Adding Video
Once you have initiated a conversation with someone, you may want to enable Video – use the button to preview, then click start my video when you are happy.
The view you get when the conference is underway varies depending on the systems used, how you have set this up in your video options, and the number of participants. An example is showed here with a meeting room system output (the panorama) and one user not on video. Your picture is shown smaller on the right.
Adding video works in exactly the same way as per video in an ordinary conversation – click on the video icon, preview, then start my video. Other participants (with video ability) will do the same thing. The view you get may depend on the system being used. But generally, the most active speakers are presented as larger pictures – this changes dynamically. See the appropriate guides for “setting up your video”.

Manage Participants
You have a number of Skype management features available to you during a meeting. For instance, perhaps you are presenting a webinar, you wish for all attendees to be muted, and for their names to be hidden. These options (and more) are available to you in the participant tab of the Skype conversation window.

Sharing
Skype for Business lets you collaborate with your participants during a meeting (whether Voice, Video or Instant Message call.
Click on the Share button and select the options to share:
Your desktop – and if you use multiple monitors, share either or both.
Any programs running on your PC
A PowerPoint slide presentation
A whiteboard.
Participants can be polled or take part in a Q&A session.
Content can be pre-loaded for when the meeting starts, if required.
The following slides provide more detail….
Remember when you exit a meeting to close down the window / exit meeting, not just hitting the clear down button (red phone handset in top right corner). The clear down simply closes the audio path, and anything you are sharing you still share until you stop sharing, e.g. by exiting the meeting.
