Good-bye to Skype! All County employees now have access to Microsoft Teams to chat, call, meet and collaborate in one place. This Friday, June 26, Teams will become the primary communication and collaboration platform for the County and will replace Skype. But don’t worry, Skype will still be available with limited functions.

What You Need to Know

  • You will now have the ability to chat and have audio/video meetings with the Sheriff, District Attorney, Perspecta, and AT&T employees through Teams.

  • All of your Skype meetings will be automatically converted to Teams meetings.

  • The audio conferencing add-in phone numbers for Skype will automatically convert to Teams audio conferencing add-in phone numbers.

  • Skype will still be installed but will not auto-launch. However, Skype will look a bit different and you will no longer have the capability to chat. You can still use Skype to join Skype meetings or you can use a browser. Skype will be removed sometime later this calendar year.

  • All the current Teams capability will remain the same.
