On the Windows Skype for Business client, to the right of each tab there is an X that allows closing the tab so it no longer shows in the list. I have not been able to find a way to close tabs in the Mac client, despite extensive searching. (It is possible to re-use exiting tabs when continuing to talk to someone, but if they start a new conversation with you or switch to a different device, it creates a new tab. After using the client for one day, I have 5 tabs from one co-worker. I'd like to make the old ones go away.) OS X 10.11.6 / El Capitan and Skype for Business 16.0.3638.

Hi Guys, Hoping someone at MS can answer the following questions about Skype for Business Mac (preview). • When will conversation roll up be available? In the latest build conversations still show as individual items in the chats list (16.0.3619). • When will we see 1 to 1 screen and application sharing? • Tabbed conversations? Vr computer games for mac 2018. • Persistent chat? On the feedback website it's running at the third most requested feature however not 'planned' • File sharing?

Drag a file into the chat window. I think this is a basic IM feature • Bounce dock icon, improve notifications • Paste images • Add groups and filter contacts • Integrate with local/mac address book to enable click to call for third party contacts Look forward to hearing more.

A Skype meeting is a scheduled Skype audio call (to which video can be added if desired). To join, click the link in the meeting invitation you received, open the meeting on your calendar, or join through the Skype for Business client.

For members of the Office Insider program. On the Chats tab.

Can you go into more detail on why there are no plans for persistent chat? At my work place (and no doubt many others) we need this functionality to enable IT project teams to collaborate with business units to aid the software development lifecycle. Having different tools is an overhead and means communication becomes disjointed.

At the moment we have multiple tools which makes life hard. Web based team solutions work okay, however in my opinion have deficiencies that are rarely overcome, mainly notifications been hidden in the background, which leads to people forgetting them and simply not using the tool.

We have a bunch of users requesting access to the SfB persistent chat rooms from a Mac. Would be awesome to tell them MS is solving this problem. Certainly my guess as well, however I'm concerned it's going to be a separate application (or set of applications). I would like to see it integrated into the existing SfB clients.

Today we run SfB, Slack, Skype and a few other IM applications and it's often difficult to call or collaborate with a user from different parts of the business. My hope for Skype Teams is it would unify into a single product that supported, IM, Persistent Chat and Enterprise Voice. Maybe someone from MS can provide further information?
