The service will shut down roughly 14 years after Microsoft purchased it for $8.5 billion, after calling Skype “the leading Internet communications company” at the time of the acquisition. Microsoft said the move to retire Skype is being made to “streamline” its consumer offerings by focusing on Teams.

The tech giant said Friday it will retire Skype in May and shift some of its services to Microsoft Teams, its flagship videoconferencing and team applications platform. Skype users will be able to use their existing accounts to log into Teams.
