Lync Server 2013 supports connectivity with Skype. This connectivity enables your Lync 2013 users to add Skype contacts by using the Skype user’s Microsoft Account (we can use customer Skype account). Skype clients can also add Lync users to their contact list. Based on policies administratively set in Lync Server, Lync and Skype users will be able to communicate using instant messaging, see each other’s presence, and initiate audio and video calls.
