StatusKey for Skype for Business Hello readers.  Hope youre well as always. This is just a quick post to introduce you to my first application.   Introducing StatusKey for Skype for Business .   StatusKey is a tray application that allows you to change your Lync and Skype for Business presence status using keyboard shortcuts.  I know you can set your status in the Skype for Business client itself, but really that just takes too many mouse clicks.  If application development is good for anything it is for time savings.  Rather than hunting for the client on the task bar full of other stuff or right clicking the (probably) hidden system tray icon and opening the menu to set your status, just hit the appropriate hot keys and youre set.

(~40?) With �Speak� translation, you hear the actual voice of the other Skype user, then in a moment the translation. (also, there is a text based transcript in the IM panel) You can start talking before the translat...
