Jul 15, 2016When will Skype Meetings be available outside the US (selfishly, asking about Canada)?
If you haven't seen this, Skype Meetings looks and acts like a SfB meeting session. It's easy to join, just put in your first name, last name, and work email address. And clevery, it allows up to 10 users from the same company to essentially have the SfB experience (IM, content sharing, video)... for a few months... then limits it to 3 users, which drives the people who try this toward a full O365 purchase. Awesome!
I see this as a fabulous resource for getting BDMs in orgs. that are deep with Cisco, or stuck in a Telco contract, to demo SfB in a painless and quick manner. When will this be made available outside the USA?
Can you suggest any alternatives for customers in Canada who want to try this? I suppose a VPN tunnel would work... anything else?
- Don't have any public timeframe yet, but in short it's a function of the feedback we get in this initial release in the US on quality & features. As it goes well we'll look to expand across to more countries.
