Microsoft is finally retiring Skype in May.

Axar.az reports that citing XDA Developers, there's a message inside of the latest Skype for Windows preview that says, "Starting in May, Skype will no longer be available. Continue your calls and chats in Teams."

Skype was first launched back in 2003, and Microsoft acquired it in 2011. Since then, the tech giant has redesigned Skype a couple of times.

In the last few years, Microsoft has been trying to revive Skype by experimenting and rolling out new features like Skype Clips and even integrating Copilot AI last year. But after the company failed to popularise the service during the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been largely neglected. Microsoft, however, did use Skype to build Teams, its new service designed to ease communication for enterprises.
