Microsoft has announced that Skype, the once-dominant video-calling service, will be retired in May 2025. The company will now focus on Microsoft Teams as its primary communication platform. Skype, launched in 2003 and acquired by Microsoft in 2011 for $8.5 billion, played a pivotal role in popularizing free computer-to-computer voice and video calls. However, its user base has dwindled in recent years as competitors like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger gained prominence.
