Skype for Business to Microsoft Teams Capabilities Roadmap

Jul 31, 2018 - This document reflects Microsoft's current expectations about Skype for Business capabilities coming to Teams.


New Microsoft Teams Features Are Meant to Ease the Shift from Skype ...

  • AI-Powered Background Blur: The new background blur feature in Teams uses software to automatically fuzz out the background of your video call. The built-in AI uses depth perception to separate callers from their surroundings.
  • Video Calling with Cortana: Microsoft’s virtual assistant will be added to the Teams mix, which should mean voice-activation, automated video meeting scheduling, and staging, and could handle the zoom, pan, and crop features of the camera.
  • Automated Recording: Not only will Teams record your video meeting, it’ll produce an automatic, searchable transcript of the event and store it for you in the cloud.
  • Message Translation: One of Skype’s innovations, message translation has since grown into live video translation on that platform and will no doubt head to Teams soon.
  • Mobile Live Streaming: An important recognition of the rise in bring-your-own-device (BYOD) video meetings, the feature will let smartphone users not only attend meetings but also share video, photos, and their screen from the phone, which is usually just a passive viewing portal.

Can I send a message to someone on Skype for Business from Microsoft Teams? You can use Microsoft Teams to chat with someone who’s using Skype for Business. Simply start a one-on-one chat with the person you'd like to talk to, and they’ll get your message in Skype for Business. In the chat, you’ll have the opportunity to invite them to join you and the rest of the world in Microsoft Teams.

Remember: If the person you’re chatting with has ever used Microsoft Teams, your messages will always be sent there. Otherwise, if messages aren’t getting to or from Skype for Business, check with your IT administrator. People who use Microsoft Teams and also have an on-premises Skype for Business account can’t currently send messages to or receive them from Skype for Business users.
