One of the most exciting new features in Skype for Business (formerly Microsoft Lync) is the new emoticons. At long last, I now have the “fingers-crossed” emoticon that I’ve been wishing for. Plus, these emoticons are animated, which makes them pretty entertaining.
Hovering over each emoticon will show you the keystroke shortcut, but here’s a guide you can bookmark.
