Video telephony software and messenger Skype is discontinued.
According to Microsoft, Skype will be discontinued in May 2025.
According to information from Microsoft, chats and images in Teams will be taken over in the future.
History
Skype was founded in July 2003 by the entrepreneurs Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis in Luxembourg. The software was developed by Estonians Ahti Heinla, Priit Kasesalu and Jaan Tallinn, who had previously worked with Zennström and Friis on the Kazaa file-sharing software.
The software was initially called “Skyper”, but the name was later changed to “Skype” as the domain “Skyper” was already taken.
Skype experienced a rapid rise and reached over 46 million downloads by December 2004. In September 2005, eBay bought Skype for 3.1 billion US dollars.
eBay sold 65% of its shares in Skype to the investment company Silver Lake for 1.9 billion US dollars in September 2009
In May 2011, Microsoft acquired Skype for 8.5 billion US dollars, which was the most expensive acquisition by Microsoft at the time.
After the acquisition by Microsoft, Skype was increasingly integrated into the Microsoft ecosystem and eventually replaced Windows Live Messenger as Microsoft’s main messaging service.
In November 2012, Skype was integrated into the Microsoft Office suite, improving collaboration and communication in businesses.
Despite these developments, Skype lost a significant number of users between 2020 and 2023.
On February 28, 2025, it was announced that Skype would be discontinued in May 2025. Microsoft recommended Microsoft Teams as a replacement product.

Technik hinter Skype
Skype is a program used for video calls, voice chats, instant messaging and file transfers.
Technical features:
- Connection: Skype works behind most firewalls and NAT routers and uses the STUN protocol for the connection. It can also use TCP ports 80 and 443, which are normally used for surfing the Internet.
- Audio codecs: Skype uses various audio codecs such as SVOPC, AMR-WB, G.729, G.711 and SILK for data compression.
- Encryption: Skype uses AES-256 for encryption from device to device. The keys are transmitted using RSA. The encryption methods were made public through reverse engineering.
- Architecture: Skype was originally built as a decentralized peer-to-peer network, but Microsoft changed the architecture and used its own dedicated servers.
- Integration: Skype is integrated into the Microsoft Office suite and can also be run from a removable disk.
- Skype Translator: The Skype Translator enables simultaneous translations of video chats and phone calls in real time for different languages.
