Skype for Business Video Transcript:
I’m going to show you how to find someone and add them to your contacts list on Skype for Business.
First you will need to have a list, or group, to add your contacts to. You can create a new group by clicking on the contacts icon below the search bar. Then you can select Create a New Group, and you will be prompted to name it.
Once you have your group set up, and you are looking at your contacts list, go to the search bar and start typing the name or email address of the person you’re looking for. Skype for Business will automatically begin to filter the results. We’re going to look for Adam Lee, and you can see he’s shown up here. When you find the contact you want to add, right click on him.
You can choose Add to Favorites to add this contact to your favorites, which is a group of contacts that you interact with most frequently, and appears by default at the top of your contacts list. You can change this default setting, and have the Favorites list not show up, by clicking on the Options icon, navigating to the Contacts List menu, and unchecking the box next to Favorites Group
Or, instead of Add to Favorites, you can choose Add to Contacts List, which will show you a list of folders that you’ve created to organize your main contacts list. Then, select the folder where you want this contact to show up. I’m going to add Adam to my PEI Contacts list.
Skype for Business takes you back to your contacts list, and we can see that Adam Lee shows up under PEI Contacts.
