Skype Developer Platform

Looks like the existing APIs, like for Lync (terrible rename to "Skype for Business" that they secretly shoved out in Windows Update this month - confusing and pointless).

IIRC, NetMeeting also had some cool APIs, allowing you to easily get access to data channels and so on.

It's not pointless. Having one name for your business and consumer products makes things simpler.

Lync branding was confusing anyway.

Try working in a shop that does Linq. Link, Linq, and Lync sound exactly the same when spoken. So sentences like: "let me send you the linq link on lync" occur.

I frequently hear Linq pronounced "Link... Linqueue?", and Lync as "Link... Lüngg?"

Admins were notified (at least here) and you can revert the updates[1].
