Skype for Business is retiring as of April 1. Use Webex Teams!
Towson University is retiring Skype for Business as of April 1, 2020. This means it should no longer automatically start upon login. If Skype for Business is manually launched on a TU computer, you’ll see the following message: “This app has been blocked by your system administrator,” and you can just close the message box.
A similar but improved alternative for faculty and staff is Webex Teams, an all-in-one solution for messaging, file sharing, white boarding, video meetings, and more. Here are ways to learn more about Webex Teams, how you can use the service, and how to get started:
- Attend a 45-minute Webex Teams demonstration conducted online via Webex. Register for a session.
- Schedule a training session for your department. Contact OTS Training at training@towson.edu to coordinate.
- Visit www.towson.edu/webexteams for an overview and to access self-help training documents.
