Microsoft plans to shut down its internet calling service Skype in May 2025, nearly 14 years after acquiring it for $8.5 billion. Users are encouraged to migrate to Microsoft Teams, which has experienced significant growth in usage as a collaboration platform. Skype users will receive notifications about transitioning their accounts. While paid features of Skype will no longer be offered to new customers, existing users can utilize their credits until their next renewal. The shutdown signals a shift towards Teams as the primary communication tool for Microsoft users.
Starting in May 2025, Skype will no longer be available. Over the coming days you can sign in to Microsoft Teams Free with your Skype account to stay connected with all your chats and contacts.
Hundreds of millions of people already use Teams as their hub for teamwork, helping them stay connected and engaged at work, school, and at home.
