Microsoft is Killing Off Skype in May 2025

Microsoft is shutting down Skype, the internet-based phone and video service that was once the dominant way of staying connected in the mid 2000s. Check out the External Link above...

But others and I have been checking out similar products and the best one found is Signal, go ahead and check it out: Signal >> Download Signal

It is quite similar to Skype and you can send files up to 100MB.

 

Enjoy!

The writing was on the wall once MS put Teams on the market. They bought Skype in 2011 for $8.5 billion...but later they stopped developing it...beyond me, honestly as Teams isn't very convenient to use.

Oh well, who understands MS?

Did they reverse engineer Skype, and then developed the Teams mistakenware?  OR was Teams a tweaked version of Skype with a different UI?

Teams was developed as part of Microsoft 365, and Skype was left to wither. The Wikipedia has the whole story.
