Microsoft will shut down Skype soon. The company bought the service in 2011 for voice calls. Since then, Skype has changed hands several times. It first belonged to eBay in 2005 before Silver Lake grabbed it in 2009. Microsoft became the final owner, which decided its fate.

Skype has lost many users over the years. It had 405 million people using it every month back in 2008, but that number fell to just 36 million last year. Microsoft wants everyone to move over to Teams Free instead. Users can still message, make video calls, and share files with the new app. The change matches what Microsoft wants for all its talk programs.

Microsoft promised that people would keep their money from Skype. Any credit or paid plans will transfer to Teams Free. This helps customers who spent cash on Skype services. Teams Free aims to serve both home users and family chats. Microsoft hopes this makes switching easier for everyone still using Skype.
