Starting May 5, 2025, Skype will no longer be available. This change will impact both free and paid users. By logging in to Microsoft Teams Free with your Skype account, your chats and contacts will appear in the app so you can pick up where you left off.

Thank you for being a part of the Skype community. We’re excited about the opportunities ahead with Microsoft Teams and look forward to continuing to support your everyday connections in new and improved ways.

With gratitude,
