I delayed answering this because I fully expected to see an installation of the new Skype for Business at a job site this week. Unfortunately though, things did not work that way; the remote collaboration I did used an IE plugin of some sort instead of what I expected.
In any case, if the interface looks Skype-like, you could try my scripts against it; but if the interface looks Lync-like (or very non-Skype-like), chances are that would not help you and might complicate things. If you want to try the scripts against lync.exe, a quick way would be to install my scripts normally, then create or modify ConfigNames.ini in the JAWS user folder to make JAWS load the Skype scripts for Lync. Do not modify ConfigNames.ini in the JAWS shared folder though. Also do not just rename Skype script files to Lync, because that will break things unless you know exactly which of those files to rename and which to leave alone.

Recently Microsoft pushed an update to office 365 for business, as a result of which Lync was updated to Skype. Since then I have realised that while JAWS 16 announces it as Skype for business it retains the same interface as that of Lync. further more, pressing Insert+q announces: 'Default Settings are loaded. the application being used is: Lync.exe. at the time when I read the release notes,, it said that the Sys admins would be able to decide whether they want the Skype interface or the Lync interface. & it seems, in our case our Sys Admin has decided it in favour of the Lync interface. would you recommend I install the Skype's latest scripts to see if they work with Lync /Skype? -------------------------------------------------- From: "Doug Lee via Skypeenglish" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2015 4:40 PM To: "Michele Barbi via Skypeenglish" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] skype for business 2015 JAWS Scripts >What I've for years called "Skype for Business" is a trimmed-down >version of the Skype we know, long made available as an NSI installer >instead of an Exe. > >Now though, I'm hearing Microsoft Lync 2013 is changing into "Skype >for Business." > >I need to find out exactly what "Skype for Business" now means, in >this discussion and in practice out there.
