MS-700 Configure and Manage a Teams Environment Practice Question
Your company is transitioning from Skype for Business Online to Microsoft Teams. You need to ensure that all incoming chats and calls for all users are received only in Microsoft Teams, while still allowing users to join Skype for Business meetings. Which coexistence mode should you assign?
⚠ Common exam trap
MS-700 often tests the subtle differences between coexistence modes, especially that Teams Only still allows joining Skype for Business meetings, tricking candidates into thinking it blocks all SfB functionality.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Teams Only
Teams Only mode ensures that all incoming chats and calls are received in Microsoft Teams, while users can still join Skype for Business meetings. This is the standard coexistence mode for organizations completing their migration to Teams. It disables Skype for Business for chat/calling but preserves meeting join capability.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Islands mode
Why it's wrong here
Islands mode allows users to run both Skype for Business and Teams side-by-side as independent platforms. This means chats and calls are received in whichever application the sender uses, which does not meet the requirement of forcing all incoming communication to be received specifically in the Microsoft Teams client.
- ✗
Skype for Business only
Why it's wrong here
This mode restricts the user to using Skype for Business for all chats, calls, and meeting scheduling. While it allows for a controlled environment, it is the opposite of the transition goal, as it prevents the user from utilizing Teams for their primary communication and collaboration workflows.
- ✓
Teams Only
Why this is correct
In Teams Only mode, all chats and calls are routed to Microsoft Teams. However, users can still use the Skype for Business client to join meetings hosted by other users who have not yet moved to Teams, providing the necessary interoperability during the migration phase of the project.
- ✗
Skype for Business with Teams Collaboration
Why it's wrong here
This mode allows users to use Teams only for channel-based collaboration (files and tabs) while keeping chat, calling, and meeting scheduling within Skype for Business. It does not meet the requirement because incoming chats and calls would still be delivered to the Skype for Business application.
