Original story (from Feb 20) follows:

• When Skype for Business on Mac tries to join a meeting, the client passes the meeting URL to Unified Communications Web API (UCWA). In some cases, there can be additional parameters in the URL that are not recognized by Skype for Business Server.
• Skype for Business makes it easy to connect and collaborate with coworkers and business partners around the world: Start instant message conversations and voice or video calls. See when your contacts are available online. Schedule and join meetings. Present your screen during meetings. If you're using Skype for Business on a PC, see the Skype.

Dear All, After a migration from Lync,Exchange to Office365 we have 1 user that is unable to connect not even launch Skype for Business. The environment is Server2008R2,Citrix Xenapp 6.5,appsense based using thin clients, Office365 uses OKTA as authenticator, the user profile is mandatory (spoofe. This will uncheck 'Open at login' option and prevent Skype from starting automatically on Mac, the next time you start your computer. Stop Skype From Starting Automatically on Mac Using Settings. You can also Stop Skype From Starting Automatically on Mac by going to System Preferences. Click on the Apple Icon located in the top menu.

Looks like Skype is acting glitchy for some users currently. According to reports, the Windows 10 client of the service is closing / crashing at the moment. Users are taking to social media to report the problem.

Here are some reports:

@Skype your PC app is broken. It kicked me from a call and then closed completely. Now when I open the app it loads but then closes again

@Skype Hey guys, I'm having a huge problem with my skype for Windows 10 app. The window keeps force closing by itself, even through the app is still running in the background.

My SKYPE was working perfectly earlier. Now it won't work at all. Everytime I click on one of my contacts. The screen blanks out and minimizes.
