Closure
Microsoft stated on its website Skype would be retired on 5 May 2025 to be replaced with Microsoft Teams for more "modern communications". It also mentioned that users will have the option to sign into Teams on any device that supported Skype credentials, as well as giving users the option to export their Skype data if they do not wish to use Teams.[19] This closure was finalized on 5 May 2025.[106] Existing credit balance for outgoing phone calls can be used via a Skype Dial Pad web application, but no new credit can be purchased.

Without a doubt, Skype was a revolution - and that 8 years before Microsoft bought it. I used it a lot to call friends in Europe from the USA. I will never forget it. Thanks to the original developers, and thanks to Microsoft for keeping it alive for a few more years. I still used it occasionally until last year.

NOTE: Microsoft is DISCONTINUING Skype in Mac, 2025. "Skype will remain available until May 5, 2025, giving users time to explore Teams Free and determine if it is a good fit for their communications needs." - - In my experience, Teams is not a good fit for use. A year ago it was an OK method of live meeting. Sadly, it degraded to the point of unusable this year. Have fun! 💩👎
