Sounds like someone looped a cable. Maybe the powerline widget is confused.. or maybe your neighbor bought one too?

So we switched from Cisco Jabber to MS Skype For Business yesterday as part of our move from MS Office 2016 to Office 365.
- The font size of contacts in the contacts list (the main UI) is best suited for vision impaired users, and there's no way to reduce it so you can see more contacts.
- You have to double-click the system tray icon to restore the Skype window.
- There seems to be no way to turn off notifications of people coming online. Well, there is a way, but it doesn't seem to to work.
- I can't permanently set my status to "Away". When I unlock my workstation, Skype shows me as "Available".
Admittedly, if these are my biggest problems in life, I'm indeed a lucky man.

We've been using it for a few weeks and it seems to work pretty well.

We've been using it, or its predecessor, Lync for a couple of years.
I do NOT have notifications turned on the tell me when someone is available, others do.
So.. before you post in QA, have you tried to Google how to get them turned off?
And, yes, this is said tongue-in-cheek...
The answers are out there, it will just take patient and diligence to find them.

It's probably a system font setting. There is an option to only show 1 line per contact, instead of 2.

As opposed to a single-click? Single-click opens the menu options, double-click opens the window. Works for me.

When we first started using it I had to turn that on per contact. I wonder if your org is pushing out specific settings through Group Policy.

This does not happen to me when I set to Away, but does when I am set to Be Right Back.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Yes, I've done that. It's still too big. I often have to scroll the list of just 20 people to select someone. That's annoying.

That should be a context click. A single click should restore the window. Many IMs work that way.
RyanDev wrote: When we first started using it I had to turn that on per contact.
Yes, I've done that manually for each contact. I hope it sticks. And yes, it is a group policy that I don't have privs to change. There's a Powershell cmdlet that will let you alter that, but it fails for me.

Ah - thanks.

I agree. Skype isn't the only app that works this way but I'd rather have context click bring up context menu. But you get used to it quick enough.

Not sure about be font, looks OK to me. You can choose how much information you want to see for contacts.

Single click for me.

There is. Right click -> tag for status change alerts.

You can. Under your name there is option to change status.
I think this is either from your company's policies or MS does not like you.

Or an oncoming train? Well as most regulars will know I am 'resting' at the moment trying to get a new role had two interviews this week Monday & Tuesday, the Monday one was not a goer. The Tuesday one (bit of a long commute) but the guy who interview me had a couple of manuals I had written off me to show the managment, seemed over joyed I had worked on automated test systems and had an understanding of serial comms...then things went side ways again my Dad (who lets get over it is a senior citizen, one of the WW2 generation, narrowly missed D-Day, did Suez and Egypt) is not too well, it appears to me that a small stroke might have happened. Doctors on the way to see him, Mum going nuts,sorry about the long rant just needed somewhere to moan!

I'm living next to one of those; they don't build them like that anymore. In his 70ies and having trouble walking, but still more powerfull than I'll ever be.
I wish your dad lots of good health, and I'm convinced that there must be some employer looking for an experienced worker. Keep shooting, it can't rain forever.
