KCIT is committed to ensuring all eligible employees can efficiently telecommute. That means using Skype to make calls and conduct your meetings virtually on County-owned devices like laptops and tablets. Many are already using this valuable tool daily, while it may be new to others.  

Here’s what you need to know to get started:                                                    

• If you use Microsoft Office 365 on your King County device (laptop, tablet, etc.) you are good to go to conduct Skype calls/meetings. You do not need VPN access and no further permissions are needed.   
• If you haven’t used Skype meetings or shared your screen using Skype, here are some resources to get started: 

• Quick Start Guide for Skype Meetings. 
• Quick Start Guide for Sharing and Collaboration. 

More information on using Skype for Business for sharing and conducting Skype meetings can be found here. For questions, contact the KCIT Help Desk at 206-263-4357 or submit a Help Desk ticket.
