American technology and software giant, Microsoft, has announced its decision to retire Skype, a well-known platform that revolutionized cross-border communication through the internet after 20 years of operation.
The company said in a statement it would now concentrate on its in-house Teams service by streamlining its communication capabilities, while Skype would shut down for good in May.
“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,” said Microsoft in a statement.
