Jakarta - Microsoft announced the permanent termination of Skype services, effective May 5, 2025, after 22 years of operation, as the company shifts focus to building Microsoft Teams, according to a TechCrunch report.
Microsoft representatives argued that usage trends have changed and it is time to fully switch to Teams, which is more suited to modern communication needs.
"Now, if we focus on Teams alone, messaging becomes simpler and innovation can be executed faster," said Microsoft 365 President of Collaborative Apps and Platforms, Jeff Teper, as reported in the report, Saturday.
