Skype for Business - Get notified when someone’s status, or Presence, changes

Skype for Business includes a tagging feature that allows you to tag people for alerts when their status changes. The alert is a pop-up on your screen with the contact's picture and a message that tells you the status has changed. If the person you've tagged isn't already in your contacts list, they'll be added to it.
For example, this is helpful when you have an important question for a co-worker, and you have stopped by his/ her office multiple times only to find them in a meeting or out of the office. It's inefficient to continually walk by their office, so tagging is a way to be notified as soon as they become available again, without having to schedule a special meeting?

Tag a contact for status change alerts:
1. Go to your contacts list or use the search field to find the person you want to tag.
2. Right-click their contact information and select Tag for Status Change Alerts.

To Untag a contact:
If you no longer need to be notified of a person's status changes, you can untag them to stop the alerts.
There are two ways to untag a contact. Either click Untag when the alert pops up, or follow the steps below:
1. Go to your contacts list.
2. Right-click the person's contact information, and select Tag for Status Change Alerts.

3. Note the checkmark next to Tag for Status Change Alerts. Click it to untag the contact.
