Microsoft has officially discontinued Skype, the once-dominant communications platform, urging users to migrate to Microsoft Teams. This decision follows years of declining users since Microsoft acquired Skype for $8.5 billion in 2011 to replace Windows Live Messenger. Founded in 2003, Skype initially revolutionized video calls but faced tough competition from various platforms. As the market evolved, Skypeâs user base diminished, prompting Microsoft to focus on Teams, which aligns more closely with current collaboration needs.
After years of declining usage, Microsoft has made the decision to officially discontinue Skype, transitioning users to its more modern communication tool, Microsoft Teams.
Once a leader in video calls, Skype has struggled to maintain relevance as competing platforms emerged, leading to Microsoftâs strategic shift away from the software.
