After more than 20 years, the video calling service that started it all is finally retiring in May as Microsoft plans to replace Skype with Teams once and for all.

First released back in 2003, Skype was created by Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis along with a small team of Estonian developers. Then, just two years later, the company was bought by eBay for $2.6 billion before Microsoft snapped it up for $8.5 billion in 2011.

The move made a lot of sense at the time, as Microsoft used the newly acquired company to replace Windows Live Messenger. Even with competition from Apple’s FaceTime which launched in 2010, Skype remained the video calling and instant messaging service to beat until Zoom took the world by storm in 2020.
