When my organization uses a Microsoft video conferencing product, we use Teams, not "Skype for Business". I have no idea why, as I don't schedule the meetings, but I can say that I can't imagine something sucking worse than Teams.

"Skype for Business" sucks more than Teams. But it's true: it's hard to imagine something like "Skype for Business". I had to use it for a few months when working with a business unit in a different country that were all forced to use it. We were all happy when their business unit's IT department agreed to move them from Skype to Teams.
Teams is the worst. I constantly miss messages, the video calling feature randomly freezes videos of participants, and sometimes my audio doesn't work for no apparent reason. Their Wiki feature sucks, too.
It's also a CPU hog. Why can I watch a 4K video in VLC for hours, but throwing up a couple of 200x100 windows in Teams kills the CPU? I guess Teams is written by interns.

I just think about why would they force video conferencing into SharePoint?

Teams is built on top of Skype for Business, SfB is one of the main backends for them.
