Microsoft announced that Skype will be shutting down on May 5, 2025. The primary reason for this decision is to streamline their communication services and focus on Microsoft Teams, which has become more popular and offers a broader range of features. Microsoft believes that by consolidating their efforts on Teams, they can deliver more innovation and better meet customer needs.
If you're a current Skype user, you can transition to Microsoft Teams using your Skype credentials, and your chats and contacts will be synced automatically. If you have any specific questions about the transition, feel free to ask!
