Sad news for all Skype users, Microsoft will stop it to focus on Teams and in May 2025, Skype will no longer be available.

QuoteThe way we communicate has evolved significantly over the years. From instant messaging to video calls, technology has continuously transformed how we connect with each other. 

In order to streamline our free consumer communications offerings so we can more easily adapt to customer needs, we will be retiring Skype in May 2025 to focus on Microsoft Teams (free), our modern communications and collaboration hub. 

With Teams, users have access to many of the same core features they use in Skype, such as one-on-one calls and group calls, messaging, and file sharing. Additionally, Teams offers enhanced features like hosting meetings, managing calendars, and building and joining communities for free.
