Microsoft is shuttering Skype, marking the end of the once-dominant voice and video chatting service after two decades.
In an announcement Friday, the software giant confirmed that Skype would close in May. The company said users can still log into the free tier of Microsoft Teams using their Skype username and password.
Despite an increase in users during the coronavirus pandemic, Skype has struggled for relevancy in the past decade. Newer platforms like Zoom have usurped Skype’s place at the top of the video conferencing market by offering new features and simpler interfaces.
