For people who have a VOIP number with skype, please port it to other providers.
End of an era lol
With the introduction of WhatsApp, Messenger, and Facetime video calls, Skype really did lose relevancy.
I never had the chance to use it

it really is. I remember when ooVoo and Skype was popular
then discord and everyone else came and dethroned those platforms. But man were those the days.

“Users who have Skype Credits will ideally want to use their credits; however, Microsoft says the Skype Dial Pad will remain active via a web interface and inside Teams after the May 5 deadline for people to continue to use those credits.”

Microsoft shutting down Skype was not on my 2025 bingo card.

The breadsticks are already free, what more do you want?
If I understand correctly, Skype used to be a peer-to-peer (+superpeer) technology aimed at the mainstream in the mid-2000s. It seems pretty cool that the founders felt that was the way to go more than two decades ago (or maybe that was actually the norm?). Other than Bittorrent, were there any other peer-to-peer projects that were very popular at the time?

Original Hamachi was pretty awesome.

Oh my! Yes I remember oovoo and tried inviting a relative onto it without much success.
But they are on signal so that’s good.
