Users who have user accounts on-premises (whether they have a vanity URL or not) or are managed by Microsoft will see the Lync experience in the Outlook web app. As long as the user's account is online and doesn't have a vanity URL, they will still see the experience even if their organization has some user accounts that are homed on-premises. This basic client is available for Online users whose admin hasn't configured a vanity URL for their Microsoft 365 and Office 365.

Outlook on the web (Outlook Web App) in Microsoft 365 or Office 365 offers a basic Skype for Business web client from the navigation bar.
