Microsoft announces the shutdown of Skype, its long-standing calling and messaging app, on May 5, replacing it with Microsoft Teams, which has grown into a leading workplace platform with over 320 million users. Skype, once a trailblazer in online communications with 300 million users in its prime, has suffered significant user loss due to competition from platforms like WhatsApp and Slack. Despite the transition, Microsoft assures that no employees will be laid off and users can migrate their data to Teams, marking a significant shift in the company's communication strategy.
Microsoft is officially shutting down Skype, transitioning users to Microsoft Teams, which has become the preferred communication platform over the years.
Skype’s decline in popularity, falling from 300 million users in 2016 to just 36 million in 2023, underscores the rapid evolution of communication apps.
