Network latency: Ask the network administrator to check the latency of the network you are on. Ensure there is no latency at all.

Ram of the system: Ensure ram installed in the system are working properly, as Skype for business needs at least 2GB of Ram. If you are using other heavier applications along with Skype for business so might be you won’t be able to sign in.
