In order to streamline our free consumer communications offerings so we can more easily adapt to customer needs, we will be retiring Skype in May 2025 to focus on Microsoft Teams (free), our modern communications and collaboration hub.

I was more surprised that they kept Skype around that long.
They missed a huge window during COVID to be THE meeting tool/app by not adapting, and never recovered. Good riddance, I say.
Adapt how? I don't recall Skype being any more popular then vs now.
Some nostalgia: Skype Ringtone
