skype
The Skype Business version page says its easy to install on your network because of MSI. How can I really use this? what need additional MS software do I need to easily install it on all PCs on my corporate network?
Also, what are the major/minor differences the Business version has from the normal version?
What's causing it is that the option to allow programs control over the device is set as active. To disable this there are two steps. A windows step and a Skype step. You will also want to check any others (like teamspeak and the like) that also have auto adjust options.
On the Windows side:
The Skype step:
If you have a Hotmail / Outlook email account, visit outlook.com from your web browser and click on your profile picture (top right). Set the status to "Invisible".
Now quit your Skype application and open it again.
It resolved switching from Invisible to Online status.
Hope it helps.

We have been using skype for years - the big advantages for us:
You can have a single account for skypeout. They used to only allow a credit card to be associated with a single skype name, so if your users didn't have individual company cards they had to put skype credit on using their own cards and be reimbursed.
You can have a central list of contacts. Otherwise if you want to only allow other employees to skype you, you have to have every employee send a new user message to everyone else and be added to their contacts which is a real pain to do manually if you have 100 or 1000s of users.
