How do I install Skype for Business on my Mac?

I have been to the Office365 website and looked in the software section but I cannot find it.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Solution 1:

Microsoft has officially released Skype for Business for Mac on October 26th, 2016. You can find the official download link here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=54108

If you are using Homebrew (and Cask), you can install Skype for Business for Mac with the following commands:

brew update ; brew cask install skype-for-business

Solution 2:

Skype for Business has not yet made it in full to the Mac.

Microsoft are instead still offering the older Lync software...

It's due for release in early 2016 apparently but in the meantime, Lync 2011 is basically Skype For Business.
