Skype debuted in 2003 and was an early disruptor in online communications, but Microsoft says it’s time to close Skype and focus on its Teams video conferencing platform.
Teams users have access to many of the same core features used in Skype, such as one-on-one calls and group calls, messaging and file sharing.
Microsoft Teams offers features Skype did not, such as hosting meetings, calendars and creating and joining communities.
Teams is free, which helps make it one of the most popular virtual conferencing and communications platforms.
Hundreds of millions of people use Teams and the total number of minutes people spent using it has quadrupled over the past two years.
Microsoft Teams launched on March 14, 2017, and Skype’s user base eroded for years.
