      I am trying to find an Android emulator so I can run Skype for Business on my Ubuntu 20.04 system, but I am not having much luck so far. I have tried archcron and shashlik so far and neither worked with Skype for Business app. I could not get archcron working at all.

      A few years ago, I tried creating a VM in KVM for android, but had issues with the mouse. I guess I will try the SDK tools next.

        Never tried it - just stumbled across it a while back. Uses LXC behind the scenes apparently

          Sorry, but this is a case of not running the right OS. Wrong tool for the job if you will.

          If you need Skype for business, you need Windows. It's as simple as that. Everything else is just a fragile workaround and an exercise in frustration.

          Or you could wait until Microsoft have replaced it completely with Teams. Which, if I understand correctly, they've already decided to do.

          Or perhaps get one of the Yealink Skype for Business phones. Don't know how it works but I'm guessing it doesn't need anything else.
