Me... Use it to make calls to landlines in other countries..,

Sad to see it go. Skype was once the backbone of online communication, connecting millions across the world. Its shutdown marks the close of a chapter in internet history. #Skype #TechHistory

Only since MS grabbed it.

Skype was good, until Microsoft took it over and started to do everything to fuck it up. If they weren't greedy hyenas, they could at least release the code of the original Skype for all platforms, without the Microsoft shit in it.

MSFT archaic architecture

Today I saw there's an update to Office which I haven't even loaded so going to assume that it is untangling skype now in preparation for it going away. Meta owns whatapp which I stopped using ages ago for reasons.Very few apps out there worth using anymore.

what will happen to those that have purchased Skype phone numbers, will Teams be able to carry them over?

Bought it and killed it…typically #Microsoft. No vision, just wanting to be where the new developments are. I wonder what happens with the credit everyone has with Skype 🙄

We got switched from slack to teams and I warned them it’d be shit. And guess what? Now everyone hates it!

Oh wow

The first platform for reliable web & video calls. Also the only free way to prank call china in the early millennium #RIP #Skype we will miss you 😭😭😭

doubtful

Microsoft had the best video platform in the world, and cluelessly ruined it. Nice job 👍

ZELINSKY PLAYED TRUMP! Ukraine has 5% of the world’s rare-earth supply, worth about $750 million a year — meaning Trump would get his $500 billion in 600 years. TRUMP IS A SHITTY DEAL MAKER! DUH! SUPPORT UKRAINE!

MS neglected it for years...I guess they were busy using it as the skeleton for MS Teams. 😞

😞😞😞

Guess that’ll save someone some money.

"I'll Skype you" kinda works; "I'll Teams you" will never work. #skype

Because no matter what microsoft creates or steals, there is 100% certainty that someone will do it better and bury the microsoft product. They don’t know how to keep anything outside of OS and Office, relevant.

It's hard to believe that Skype is calling it quits after all these years. From family chats to business meetings, it really was a pioneer in the communication game. Here's hoping the next wave of apps can fill the void!

🤔

They rolled it into Teams. It’s just as shitty as ever.

Good riddance

love that movie

Wow! No more Skype? Zoom became more popular.

Oh the memories of the grandkids chatting with grandma and grandpa on Skype 💗

How they let Zoom eat their lunch during the pandemic will be studied for decades.

Need to study how Skype fumbled a 30 point lead heading into Covid

we should have a European alternative. we will never be friends with ‚teams‘.

Skype was clunky ... there are so many better more streamlined ways of communicating now - Instagram for example ... WhatsApp ... FaceTime ... they most likely stayed with their old technology rather than keep up with the newer ideas

Generational bag fumble. Had everyone AND their mothers on it but lost focus and lost market share. First to market but last to innovate.

People still use Skype? Gurl i thought you'd been relegated to the world of companies that make t-shirts for people in documentaries about developing nations last year.

In other news - it's still around????

Useful in its time—I used it for International calls when I lived abroad. Now…so many other/ better apps.

skype is great why are they making everyone stop using it ?

people can use the chat features we have on our dating app platform to chat you need to visit www.nevermarrieddating.com

Wow, I just assumed Skype was already gone

It's hard to believe Skype is saying goodbye after being the go-to for so many years. So many memories of awkward calls and dropped connections! Wonder what will take its place in the next decade—zoom calls in VR, maybe?

Kudos for all those times, For me and others who used you - Skype. We Skyped and rolled.

Team TEAMS👍

I used Skype a lot early on. It didn't improve or keep up with the times, even before Microsoft's purchase. I'm actually surprised MSFT let it run this long. I now use FaceTime with local family and WhatsApp with family abroad. The Meta ownership of WhatsApp hasn't been an issue so far.
