Calls and meetings
Enter your Android phone number complete with country / region code. This lets you make and receive office calls and join meetings from Skype for Business.

When you first log into Skype for Business for Android, you’ll be guided to configure your phone number. To update the phone number, on the Settings screen, tap Calls and meetings, tap New Number, then enter your mobile phone number including the country / region and area code.
Sound Settings
Usually Skype for Business for Android will not show a meeting or participant video content during meetings unless you have a Wi-Fi connection. If you select this option and are not connected to Wi-Fi, Skype for Business tries to use a data connection to view screen and video sharing. To change settings, on the Settings screen, tap Voice Settings, then tap one of the following options:
- Your VoIP will always connect to audio using VoIP either by using Wi-Fi (if Wi-Fi is available) or your mobile data plan (if Wi-Fi is not available).
