Starting September 2019, new Office 365 customers will be onboarded directly to Teams. Companies can still add seats, which would be migrated to Teams after the Skype’s retirement. There would be no change in service for existing Skype for Business customers, explained Skay. Over the last two years, we’ve worked closely with customers to refine Teams, and we now feel we’re at the point that we can confidently recommend it as an upgrade to all Skype for Business Online customers.” “Teams combines chat, video, calling, and document collaboration into a single, integrated app – and enables an entirely new way of working. Skay, who is leading the transition from Skype for Business to Microsoft Teams, said they’d been working with customers to refine Teams since its 2017 launch. James Skay, a Senior Product Marketing Manager, announced the retirement, set for July 31, 2021. Skype for Business would be discontinued and replaced with Microsoft Teams. “To achieve our vision for intelligent communications, we are bringing comprehensive calling and meetings capabilities into Teams…As we build out these capabilities, Teams will evolve as the primary client for intelligent communications in Office 365, replacing the current Skype for Business client over time.”įinally, after years of speculation about the future of Skype for Business, Microsoft made it official in July 2019.

But Microsoft also discontinued some of its own products in favor of investments into Skype. Microsoft made some radical changes to Skype, including a drastic redesign one user called the “worst Skype update ever”. Six years later, Microsoft bought Skype for $8.5 billion, integrating Skype with its Office suite. By 2005, it had been downloaded 1.5 million times. Skype lived up to that marketing promise. “Free internet telephone that just works.”
