Microsoft officially shuts down Skype on Monday, May 5, marking the end of an era for one of the pioneers of online voice and video calling.

The tech giant stated that the decision is part of a broader strategy to streamline its communications services and focus on its more recent platform, Microsoft Teams, which has become the company’s flagship for professional collaboration.

Launched in the early 2000s, Skype revolutionized digital communication, but its dominance waned in recent years as more agile competitors like Zoom and Slack gained ground, particularly during the remote work boom.
