by educatekaroin News, Apps, TechLeave a Comment on Skype Signs Off After 20 Years – Microsoft Moves On

After nearly two decades of connecting people around the world, Microsoft has officially shut down Skype as of May 5. But don’t worry — your chats and contacts are safe. They’re being moved over to Microsoft Teams Free, which now takes Skype’s place.

Why It Matters:
  • This marks the end of an era for one of the earliest and most iconic online communication tools.
  • It reflects how video calling tools have evolved — with platforms like Teams, Zoom, and Slack taking the lead in today’s hybrid work world.
  • For users, it’s a reminder that even tech giants must evolve with user needs — and knowing when to sunset old tools is part of smart product strategy.
Our Takeaway:

Tech tools come and go, but the ideas behind them stick. Skype taught us that the internet can shrink distances — and now Teams is building on that legacy with more productivity-focused features.
