Prior to installing the Skype for Business client on your Windows machine, check if you already have it installed. The link below provides a helpful video on how to setup your audio devices. Most of the time, these devices do not need additional software as they are considered “Plug-and-Play”. As long as your headset is properly installed and connected and recognized by your workstation, it can be used with Skype for Business. When using your workstation (Windows or Mac), ensure that you have an audio device, such as speakers and microphone.

If you are using VPN/Remote Desktop, use the Skype for Business application directly from your local workstation (and not the VPN window) to prevent audio/microphone issues.Īudio Devices: With Skype, you can use your workstation, cell phone, earbuds, headphones, headset, etc to make and receive calls. Important Note: The Skype for Business client should be installed directly on your local workstation (Windows or Mac) for optimal performance. For ChromeOS, please see this link Skype on ChromeOS.
