I am trying to use Sky, the Skype for Business client for Linux, as recommended on the Skype forums (where Office 365 was specifically mentioned as a use case). I am using it on Fedora 23. However, it is asking for both an email address and a username, which it hints should be of the form domain\user. I ignored that advice because I don't know what domain I should use, and tried just the username part of my email address, and my full email address. Neither of them worked. What should I put as the username?

To who googled here:
Finally I sorted it out, I mean using skype for business on ubuntu.
Actually it's a Chrome plugin named ARC Welder, it's a kinda Android emulator in Chrome.
Download here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/arc-welder/emfinbmielocnlhgmfkkmkngdoccbadn?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog
After installed it, run it, then just drag the apk of skype for business into it's window, and enjoy!

PS. pidgin-sipe-1.21.1 works as well under ubuntu 16.04. See: askubuntu.com/questions/682301/how-to-update-pidgin-sipe– ImLeoOct 18, 2016 at 23:04
I emailed the company that made Sky, and they said there is a known bug with sign-in for Office 365 users, and they will fix it eventually.

Try using:
Internal server name: sipdir.online.lync.com:443
External server name: sipdir.online.lync.com:443
[email protected], where your Office 365 account is provided by ACME, then typing your email address where you're asked fordomain\usershould work.
