Microsoft officially shuts down Skype today, Teams takes over

Years before the rise of WhatsApp and Instagram, Microsoft's Skype was the go-to platform for video calling. Once widely used for both personal and professional communication, Skype is now being shut down, effective today, May 5. Microsoft has decided to focus entirely on its Teams application, leading to the retirement of Skype. This transition was formally announced in February, with the tech giant prioritising Teams as its primary free consumer communication tool. Skype users can shift to Microsoft Teams seamlessly, logging in with their existing Skype credentials across any supported device.
