Skype for Business is available for all UKM staff and students through their Office 365 licenses, however some advanced features are not usable since UKM does not have an Exchange server. "Meet Now" can be used to create video conferences in Skype for Business and invite participants, but scheduling meetings through Outlook is not possible. Key features like file sharing and viewing the presenter's desktop are available once participants join the Skype meeting. In conclusion, while licensed for Skype for Business, UKM's lack of an Exchange server limits its functionality to the "Meet Now" option for video conferencing.

Conclusion
• Although UKM is licensed to use Skype for Business
(SFB), we can’t take full advantage of it since UKM
don’t have an exchange server for Outlook.
• We can only use the “Meet Now” option in SFB.
But we have to enter all the students email
addresses into the SFB address book.
• If the students are able to log into the session, we
can utilize all the features, including recording the
session, sharing of files and viewing the desktop of
the presenter.
