Since its launch in 2014, Skype for Business has been one of the most valuable tools for millions around the world in terms of instant messaging, calling, and video. Microsoft has now announced that Skype for Business Online will be retired on July 31, 2021, and after which the service will no longer be accessible. Starting September 1, 2019, Microsoft will onboard all the new Microsoft 365 users directly to Teams for chat, meetings, and calls. The decision to retire Skype for Business comes after carefully analyzing the ability of Teams to do above and beyond what Skype does for businesses. Teams, the hub for teamwork, combines chat, video, calling, and document collaboration into a single, integrated app and has changed the way organizations work. It has helped decrease overheads, improve work efficiency, enhance collaboration, and more for organizations around the globe.
