Couldn't agree more. We use Skype for Business and its lack of obvious features is amazing. To give people an example, you cannot even send a link!

Skype for Business is one of those terrible products that makes me want to speak to someone that helped build it and ask "what happened?"

Huh? I've only used Lync 2013 and before, but the IM client doesn't prevent links. It's basically like MSN Messenger with some enhancements, for internal use. At least it doesn't have the deliverability and ordering issues Skype has.

Group chat isn't anything amazing with it but I haven't found it deficient. Maybe I'm using it wrong.

You can send links, but it's copy/paste functionality is "quirky".

How do I send a link!! Seriously would love to know. I paste it in and I think it gets reformatted for the person on the other end. What is that??
