Looking for a way to display Skype presence (Skype for Business) by Excel vba.

I do see that Excel does have this capacity. Excel -> File -> info has access/displays Contact Cards of the author of a given Excel document as well as the correct contact card of the last person who modified it.

The question is how to create a similar effect via vba code.

The current state of affairs is I already made a Userform that detects and extracts names of titled individuals from text written in the text box. I have a correct name of a staff member in the program itself, now I'd like for Skype Contact Card to appear on screen the same way the File->Info authors/modifiers do appear on screen.

Internet so far failed me in finding the answer. I found http://users.skynet.be/fa258239/bestanden/skype4com/skype4com.pdf however solutions within seem not to work anymore (or on my version of Excel/VBA(?) Skype4COM Objects cannot be created

Skype for Business does not use Skype4COM - Skype for Business used to be Lync and uses the REST for interfacing via the UCWA library. See this Q&A
