Microsoft is shutting down Skype, the service that once helped put video calling on the map. The company announced on Friday it is retiring Skype in May as part of a broader effort to focus on Microsoft Teams,

Microsoft said the move to retire Skype is being made to “streamline” its consumer offerings by focusing on Teams.
