Microsoft has announced that Skype will be shutting down on May 5, 2025. This move is part of Microsoft's strategy to focus on its Teams platform, which has become increasingly popular for both personal and professional communication. Skype users can log into Teams using their existing credentials, and their chats and contacts will migrate automatically.
It's the end of an era for Skype, which revolutionized voice and video calls when it was launched in 2003.
