Microsoft imetangaza kufunga rasmi mtandao wa Skype

Microsoft imetangaza kuwa itafunga huduma ya Skype ifikapo Mei 5, 2025, baada ya miaka 22 ya huduma. Hatua hii inalenga kurahisisha huduma za mawasiliano kwa watumiaji kwa kuhamasisha matumizi ya Microsoft Teams, ambayo imepata umaarufu mkubwa katika miaka ya hivi karibuni.

Watumiaji wa Skype wataweza kuingia kwenye Teams kwa kutumia akaunti zao za Skype, na mazungumzo pamoja na orodha za mawasiliano zitahamishiwa moja kwa moja. Hata hivyo, huduma za kupiga simu za ndani na kimataifa kupitia Skype zitasitishwa.

Watumiaji wanashauriwa kuhamia Teams kabla ya tarehe ya kufungwa kwa Skype ili kuepuka usumbufu wowote katika mawasiliano yao.

Microsoft is shutting down Skype, the internet-based phone and video service that was once the dominant way of staying connected in the mid 2000s.

Skype will “no longer be available” to use starting in May, the company confirmed on X, telling users that their log-in information can be used on Microsoft Teams’ free tier in the “coming days.”

Skype’s shutdown comes 14 years after Microsoft bought the service for $8.5 billion in cash, marking the company’s largest ever acquisition at the time. Microsoft integrated the service into its other products, such as Office and its ill-fated mobile operating service Windows Phone.

“Skype has been an integral part of shaping modern communications and supporting countless meaningful moments, and we are honored to have been part of the journey,” Jeff Teper, president of Microsoft 365 collaborative apps and platforms, said in a blog post. “We’re excited about the new opportunities that Teams brings and are committed to helping you stay connected in new and meaningful ways.”

Skype’s popularity has faded in recent years, despite a pandemic bounce that lifted other competing products, including Zoom, Google Meet and Cisco Webex. Skype has also faced increased competition over the last decade and a half from apps like Apple’s FaceTime and Meta’s WhatsApp. Plus, Microsoft has been investing heavily in Teams, which offers many of the same services.

Skype launched in 2003 in Estonia and quickly caught on as a way to make free calls worldwide, a notable perk considering international calling on traditional phones used to be expensive. The service quickly became popular, leading eBay to buy it in 2005 for $2.6 billion. However, the partnership did not work out, and eBay sold its 65% stake in Skype to an investor group for $1.9 billion in 2009 before Microsoft bought it in 2011.

Unajua watu wanaposema 2000 ni mbali Huwa nashangaa sana?
M7 amezaliwa 46 huko asemeje?

Hakuna kitu cha milele, Skype ilikuwa moja ya mitandao bora kabisa miaka hiyo.

Mchawi ni zoom, alivuma nakupanda chart kipindi cha corona.

Nashangaa kwann watu wanatumia zoom wakati kuna team, google meet, na nyingine ni ya cisco. Unatumia for free kwa masaa yote utakayokuwa na kikao mtandao.
