Good Bye Skype! Thank you for your service..๐ฅฒ
- Today is the day: has formally shuttered the app and service after announcing in February that Skype was being axed in favor of Microsoft Teams, the companyโs Slack competitor.
The Skype apps have all been advertising the end of the service and pointing users to Teams for weeks now. As of today, if you open the app or navigate to the Skype site, youโll be directed to use Teams instead. The last active vestige of Skype is the Skype Dial Pad, which Skype subscribers and members with Skype Credits can still use to make calls to traditional telephone numbers (the Dial Pad is also incorporated into Microsoft Teams Free).
Can Skype make a comeback in the future?
