Skype, the video calling platform that made headlines in the early 2000s, is finally shutting down. Microsoft confirmed that Skype will be shutting down on May 5, 2025. The tech giant has been slowly phasing out Skype features. In December last year, the tech giant stopped selling credits for Skype numbers. In the meantime, Microsoft says users of Teams will be able to call and chat with Skype users, and Skype users can do the same.
