This decision comes after a decrease in user numbers, highlighted by a drop from 40 million daily users during the pandemic to 36 million in early 2023. The shift towards Teams aligns with Microsoft's strategy to promote it as the primary communication tool in Windows, emphasizing the competition's impact on Skype's user base and ongoing relevance in the market.
"Starting in May, Skype will no longer be available. Continue your calls and chats in Teams." This message highlights Microsoft's plans to retire Skype as they push users towards Teams.
