Persons

Applies to: Skype for Business 2015

A Person object in Skype Web SDK represents a single person, and contains all the information the user publishes from presence information and a photo, to phone numbers, job title and current location. Persons can also be related in groups and lists.

Figure 1 shows you how to get an instance of the Person object from a user's person list.

Person object sources in Skype Web SDK

Each Person object in Skype Web SDK represents a person. You can use a person to represent an known person or an anonymous person, for example Building Three Receptionist. A person cannot represent a phone number or SIP address. The properties of a person can change over time. Every person property has its own value changed event. The person object itself does not provide a general property changed event. If your person view is to be dynamic, you must listen for the events raised by each property of a person.
