For users, Skype will go offline on May 5, when Microsoft replaces it with a free version of Microsoft Teams. Teams has been Microsoft’s chosen successor for years, offering the same kinds of video calls and group meetings.
Microsoft said that users will have the choice to either move to Microsoft Teams for free, or export their data from Skype.

Microsoft said it would shut down Skype, the internet calling service it bought for $8.5 billion in 2011. Users will be invited to switch to Teams.
