The new update is even worse than the old one. Without giving the app every single permission it asks for, the app simply refuses to run with a pop-up "permissions required". And no, Skype for business certainly does not need the camera, contacts or calendar permissions to function. Yes, it needs those permissions if you want to make a video call, or call a personal contact in your phone with your work phone. But the problem is that work contacts come from exchange, not from my phone. And I never make video calls using the app. So, why does it require these permissions just to start the app? The old version worked just fine without these permissions either.

It is usually reliable and easy to access meetings. Getting out of certain screens can be non-intuitive, like when I tap the speaker icon box to expand it, then I had to pause to figure out how to get back to the presentation being displayed. I actually got out of the app view (which was still running) back to my phone home screen and then re-select Skype.

I have two issues with this app. 1) When you use the Skype audio, muting/un-muting is very slow and notifications keep popping up, with sounds, which is distracting. 2) I keep getting notifications that I received a message, and I can read part of it in the notification, but when I open the app, I don't see the message. I see that there is a conversation but it's blank.
