Microsoft shuts down Skype

The popular Skype messenger, which for a long time remained a synonym for video calls and internet communications, will be permanently shut down in May. The inevitable end of the service became known thanks to a line of code found in a beta version of the application.

What awaits users?
All current Skype users will be automatically migrated to Microsoft Teams, which is gradually becoming the company's primary communication tool. In the coming months, Microsoft will officially announce the details of this transition.

The end of an era of internet calls
Skype, first launched in 2003, was a revolution in the field of online communication but gradually lost its popularity. It was first displaced by WhatsApp, Zoom and Telegram, and then Microsoft itself began actively promoting Teams. Now the era of Skype will finally come to an end.
