Symptoms

To join a meeting, click the Join button beside the Calendar entry or use the email invite link. Synched Calendars: Teams syncs with Outlook automatically, so you see meetings and appointments in either program, regardless of which app you used to create it. Sync works using the desktop app, web interface, or mobile app for either program. 1 day ago  The feature has been available on the desktop version of Skype for a while, and like that app, it can be enabled in Skype's settings or when in a call by using the 'Blur my background' option. From my experience, when you create Skype meeting in Outlook for Mac, you can just click on the Skype button to achieve this. It's not necessary to click 'v' to expand the drop down list. Of course, the prerequisite is you must open Skype for Business and sign in the same account. 5 hours ago  Skype finally added a background blur feature to iOS devices. The new feature helps people engaged in video conference calls hide their backgrounds, which may compromise their video calls.

Consider the following scenario.

Skype Meeting Web App

In this scenario, you see only a black screen instead of the shared desktop.

Skype For Business Desktop App
