| By On May 5, 2025, Skype will be retired. Users have the option to move to Microsoft Teams Free, which offers many of the same core chat and call features as Skype. During the transition period (before May 5, 2025), Teams Free users can call and chat with Skype users and Skype users can do the same with Teams Free users.
Starting today, calling and chatting between Skype and Teams Free will begin to roll out to users who are both Skype and Teams Insiders, using the latest Insider versions of both apps. This capability will gradually roll out to Skype and Teams users on the latest app versions over the coming days.
If you encounter any issues, please send feedback using the Report a problem option in the Teams app.
You can learn more about the changes to Teams Free and access the step by step transition guide here.
