Video call platform officially joins teams

After more than two decades in which he had served the world with his video call services, Microsoft is now putting one of the most famous platforms in the world, Skype, which has made this type of communication popular.

The platform served as a Go-to-Video Conferencing app in the early 2000s and served as a top method for video calls worldwide.

The reason for the closure of Skype lies on the massive plans of Microsoft to expand its team platform, another video conference service to which the company has been expanded since the pandemic.

Microsoft to prioritize teams for video conferences

According to Jeff Teper, President of Microsoft Office 365, the reason for the closure of Skype from Microsoft in Microsoft with Microsoft Teams is. Microsoft has been concentrating its massive development on teams for many years, while Skype only received upgrades of the quality of life and several functions.

Microsoft acquired Skype 14 years ago for $ 8.5 billion, and this is the largest takeover of the company to write.

According to CNN's report, the popularity of Skype has stalled over the years compared to its significant dominance in the 2000s.

Review of the 20-year service from Skype

For over 20 years, Skype has been the most popular video calling service, which many confidants and a platform for video conferences have offered that has connected families, friends and colleagues. In the past, Skype was a direct platform for video and audio calls, but then it added massive functions that contain instant messaging.

Skype later gave the public the opportunity to enjoy the modern functions that were made popular by Facetime, Zoom, Google Meet and more. Microsoft gave Skype the ability to blur the background to the audio of noise on the basis of AI and more.

The raves of the early until the mid-2000s for video conferences enabled the experiences that all concentrated about what Skype has to offer, and the contact point for various settings became possible and enabled users to enjoy this remote communication function. Now, after 23 years of providing a platform for the public, it is rested and users are connected worldwide, which has contributed significantly to change communication for everyone.
