Skype, the iconic internet chat and phone service owned by Microsoft, will be shut down on Monday after around 22-year service term.
A group of engineers launched the popular chat application, and Microsoft purchased it in 2011.
On Feb. 28 this year, Microsoft announced that Skype has reached the end of its life.
"Starting in May 2025, Skype will no longer be available," the announcement read.
Microsoft offered users to sign in to Microsoft Teams Free with their Skype accounts to stay connected with all their chats and contacts.
The statement said with Teams, users will have access to the same core features they use in Skype such as one-on-one calls, and group calls, messaging, and file sharing.???????
It added in a separate statement: "After May 5, 2025, the Skype Dial Pad will be available to remaining paid users from the Skype web portal and within Teams.
