R.I.P. Skype: 2003-2025
Briefly

Concerns existed about Microsoft shutting down Skype, but instead, the company pivoted towards Teams, which has become more successful in the enterprise sector. Analysts note that Skype, seen as a legacy product, received little investment and has struggled in the face of competition from platforms like Zoom. Microsoft has effectively replaced Skype with Teams, which is perceived as a superior alternative. As a result, it's expected that Skype won't be missed by users who have transitioned to other options.
Skype has been on death's bed for some time now. Microsoft tried to make it a money maker by having a professional version, but that went nowhere, given the dominance of Zoom.
Microsoft has focused on Teams as a replacement; it's a better product than Skype and has gained significant traction in the enterprise - and even among consumers.
Skype was really just a legacy product with no real investment lately; I don't think it will be missed by most users who probably already have moved on to other products anyway.
