Enable Microsoft Skype Mode for RealPresence Touch

After the RealPresence Group Series system is registered with the Skype for Business Server online or
on-premises, you can enable Skype mode for the system to provide a consistent environment for all
Office 365 products in your deployment. When the system is signed into Skype for Business Online,
Skype mode is required and enabled automatically, and users can control the system only with the
RealPresence Touch device. You cannot disable Skype Mode in Skype for Business Online deployments.
In Skype mode, the system local interface has limited operations; refer to the Polycom RealPresence
Group Series Release Notes for a limitations list.
Procedure
1. In the system web interface, go to Admin Settings > General Settings > Home Screen
Settings > Skype Mode.
2. Select Enable Skype mode.
3. Click Save.
For information on using the Skype Mode user interface, refer to the Polycom RealPresence Touch in
Skype Mode Quick Tips or the Polycom RealPresence Group Series User Guide at support.polycom.com.
Note: During a Skype for Business conference call from the RealPresence Group Series system, the
participant details screen displays when you try to disconnect the call by remote control. If a
RealPresence Touch device is paired with the RealPresence Group Series system, the remote
control will not respond and call ends directly when you press the end button on the
RealPresence Touch.
