2025-02-28
Reports suggest Microsoft is preparing to shut down its long-standing communication app, Skype, in the coming months. A hidden string in the latest Skype for Windows preview hints at a May shutdown, prompting users to switch to Teams. Once a dominant VoIP platform, Skype has faced stiff competition from newer apps like Telegram and WhatsApp. Despite integration attempts within the Microsoft ecosystem, Skype has struggled to maintain relevance. The move appears to be a strategic shift towards consolidating users on the Teams platform.
