💨 Abstract

Microsoft is retiring Skype on May 5, shifting focus to Teams due to the platform's inability to keep pace with competitors in the smartphone era and the growing demand for business calls during the pandemic. Skype had a peak of hundreds of millions of users but struggled to compete with Zoom, Slack, and others. Users will be able to transition to Teams for free, and there will be no job cuts.
