💨 Abstract

Skype, a pioneering internet calling service, will shut down on May 5 as Microsoft focuses on Teams. Founded in 2003, Skype had 150 million users in 2011 but fell to 23 million by 2020, struggling to compete with rivals like Zoom and Slack due to outdated technology. Users can transition to Teams for free, with chats and contacts migrating automatically.
