Skype integration (Consumer Federation)
It would be nice to integrate public Skype (not Skype for Business) into Teams. I am able to chat with Skype for business users within my organization but when working with external clients I still have to go back to public Skype. If I could even just simply chat and call with Skype users as well that would allow me to use Teams as my sole communication platform.

Please check “Teams/Skype Consumer chat and calling interop” on the public roadmap at microsoft.com/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters.. for updates.

Request an implementation that can easily change the display name of consumer Skype on the client.

i believe MS is replacing "Skype for business" with "Teams". Hence, yes it will be great to add chat with public skype memebers from Teams. As i have tested and found i am unable to add or chat with public skype ids from teams.

Hello, as many others before, I need to know WHEN it is planned to get this important "feature" running.

It would be essential for a migration to TEAMS to be able to chat/communicate with SKYPE for consumer users. Not only Skype for Business users, but all Skype users. Our customers use Skype, and we can't migrate to TEAMS and loose touch with them.

as many others have noted, all our outside clients use consumer Skype. Until there is the ability to make those calls, we can't roll this out to the company either.
