Unfortunately, while I might have to say Skype for Business is an acceptable alternative to other similar enterprise products available, I would have to say that creating something that might be considered better would not take much. At least regarding the version of the product we are using.

Subject: Re: [WebAIM] Skype for Business

I hated making actual phone calls or dialing extensions with it. I don't
know why. Maybe there's a trick I don't know about. Also, whenever
anyone would talk to me, I would get thrown into a menu. But the scripts
do help. My only other beef is if I tab past an item I want when I'm in
the main window, I can't just shift tab back.
