Skype for Business CloudPBX Preview

Back in July, Microsoft announced a preview of new Skype for Business voice and meetings capabilities in Office 365, which include PSTN Conferencing and Calling, Cloud PBX and Skype Meeting Broadcast. Microsoft is now expanding the preview to provide support for additional countries, as well as adding several new features. Tenants need to have an Enterprise plan or Skype for Business plan 2. EDU and Nonprofit tenants are not eligible for the preview at this time.

The Skype Meeting Broadcast and Cloud PBX previews are available worldwide to customers. The preview of PSTN Conferencing is available to customers in the U.S., Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Cloud PBX with PSTN Calling is available in the U.S. to customers.
