    Microsoft will finally pull the plug on Skype in May, encourages users to switch to Teams

    Back in the early aughts I practically lived on Skype. Haven't used the app in years, still sad to see another former mainstay fading into oblivion.

    I guess I may as well uninstall it now. Not planning to use it in the next couple of months anyway.

    For those of us with a few dollars of Skype credit, I guess that will be unusable after May.

    Such a shame, Teams is horrible, you can't even add contacts in the Free/Personal version. When I look up guides on the web on how to add a contact, the guides say you have to click on the Calls Tab and then Contacts, I don't even have a calls tab. Such a crappy communications program you can't even add contacts.
