>IME, it's many MANY miles better in user experience than ... Skype for Business

It is the Skype For Business, but just rebranded. You can still see some cruft where certain dialog boxes still refer to it as Skype for Business.

That an interesting point. Is there some way to definitely show that happening?

Yes, initiate a call, and look at what the teams controlled audio sinks are named. They are named "skype". This was 4 months ago.

Ahhh. I meant more like "is there a video of it happening?". :)

Skype 4 Business itself is just Lync rebranded, as it had nothing to do with Skype beyond a half-hearted bridge at one point. And you can still see references to lync in the domain names teams sets up.

I'm curious, why does it have to be a video? Is that a better proof in any way? Wouldn't you then say "oh we can't know if the video is actually authentic"?

Because it's easy to see and for people that don't have the software (like me) to see something approaching evidence.
