Skype for Business is retiring as of July 31. Use Webex Teams! 

Towson University is retiring Skype for Business at 5 p.m. on July 31, 2020. This means it should no longer automatically start upon login. If Skype for Business is manually launched, you’ll see the following message: “This app has been blocked by your system administrator,” and you can just close the message box. 

As communicated in the spring in TU Today  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.
