Microsoft has announced that it will be permanently shutting down Skype after 22 years on May 5, 2025. Users of the popular video calling app are encouraged to switch to Microsoft Teams as the new video-calling solution before the deadline. Teams offers enhanced features and better performance compared to Skype.
Skype, which was once a dominant player in the video calling and messaging space, will no longer be available on devices as Microsoft focuses entirely on Teams. The company has assured users that they can easily transfer their data from Skype to Teams for a seamless transition.
Microsoft Teams includes all the features of Skype along with several advanced options, making it a more powerful and efficient communication tool. The decision to discontinue Skype comes after the gradual decline of the platform in favor of Teams, which was introduced in 2017.
Skype users are advised to make the switch to Microsoft Teams for their video calling and messaging needs. They can also explore other alternatives like Zoom, Google Meet, or WhatsApp for personal and professional video calls. Additionally, for those looking for an affordable long-term plan, BSNL is offering a Rs 1515 prepaid plan with extensive benefits. Google Pixel 4a is also expected to be priced under Rs 44,000 for those interested in a new smartphone option.
