Now the organizations who has Business emails but not office 365 can also Sign up for Skype meetings. But this feature is only available within United States.
Office 365 subscribers are currently experiencing this Skype for business facility and it can be used even for meetings above 250 participants. Anyone can experience IM(Instant Messaging) at any time.
