You can transfer your history from one computer to another – for example, from a Mac to another Mac, or a Mac to a Windows machine – by copying your Skype Name folder from one computer to another. To transfer your conversation history: Open Finder and navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/Skype/. The “~” sign means your home folder. Open Skype for Business, and in your contacts list, right-click the person whose previous conversation you want to view. Click Find Previous Conversations. Outlook opens and displays that contact’s conversations with you in the Conversation History folder.

We are excited to announce the start of the Skype for Business Mac Public Preview. Commercial customers can request an invite to test the Mac client at. We’ll start by issuing invites to IT administrators to download the client and gradually expand the preview to everyone in the coming weeks.
