I just configured mine to not update automatically . The options for doing that may not be as accessible as they should be , but they ' re still there . <| sep |> Thoth .

In my experience Skype for business is not very good for tracking . The status updates etc are easy to set and forget and are basically useless for tracking if you want to know if they can read your IM ' s being sent it ' s best to believe they are . Because they can . As for tracking activity it ' s a huge PITA especially for large firms . Think of storage and sifting thru it all . In my experience it ' s usually a targeted situation where an issue has been reported or caught by other means and a screen capture program is quietly deployed to record activity for a certain period of time . For metrics on performance there are specialized tools for call centers that track call times , etc . I have not seen these in normal business unless your job is to answer the phone . Hope this helps . Email is always backed up and can be searched . I would offer this advice a company has every right to search any company provided equipment and any work product created during business hours . If you wouldn ' t do something with your boss watching it ' s a good idea not to do it at all . My two cents .
