Add Contact Not In My Organization on Skype for Business (Mac)

As a Faculty of Health user, you may encounter issues when trying to add contacts not within your organization using Skype for Business on your Mac. This is because full Enterprise Voice is associated with your account, which means your UW phone is a Skype for Business phone instead of a traditional telephone handset.

When prompted to join a conference call, you will need to enter the Conference ID from the invitation. The Conference ID will be different from the one pictured here, so make sure to check the meeting details carefully. To call in toll-free from anywhere in North America, use the 1-844 number provided on the invitation. However, please note that this number may incur long-distance charges for callers outside of North America.

If you're calling from Waterloo Region, you can use the 519 area code number instead.

To join a Skype for Business meeting on your Mac, follow these steps:

* Open your default web browser and navigate to the meeting page.

* If you have the Skype for Business software installed on your device, launch it.

* The meeting URL address is contained within the web link. For example, you can use the following text: 'For this meeting, you can click on the 'Join online meeting' link below or click on the web address link in your browser.'

By following these steps and entering the correct Conference ID, you should be able to join a Skype for Business meeting successfully and add contacts not within your organization.
