We are familiar with Skype, so let me explain how it can be used with Salesforce. By Connecting Salesforce And Skype for Business, your service and management (Sales and Service) representatives can send and receive texts and check on the availability of associates without ever leaving Salesforce org. Employees can also save IM conversations as notes and link them to Salesforce records if Notes is enabled in your company. Only companies with a Skype for Business Online license or a Microsoft Office 365 Enterprise package that includes Skype for Business Online can use Skype for Salesforce.

Versions Needed for Skype in Salesforce

Editions for professionals, developers, performers, businesses, and unlimited users

Key Point: Skype for Salesforce’s earlier beta versions allowed for voice and video calls. Microsoft is currently updating Skype’s support for voice and video calls. Therefore, for the time being, Skype Integration with Salesforce’s widely usable version does not support voice or video calls.
