Microsoft has announced that Skype, its popular online chat and phone service, will officially shut down in May 2025. Users are encouraged to migrate to Microsoft Teams Free to retain their existing chats, contacts, and call history. The discontinuation of Skype marks a significant transition in Microsoft's strategy to consolidate its communication platforms, reflecting a shift from the once-leading internet calling service to its more integrated Teams platform, which aims to provide similar functionalities for users.
"Starting in May 2025, Skype will no longer be available," the company said, thanking customers for "being part of Skype."
