The writing has been on the wall for Skype for a long time, but every time you think it's dead, Microsoft launches some big update. This time, however, that's not happening, as Microsoft is finally retiring Skype in May. The solution? You guessed it — use Teams instead.

Spotted by a savvy reader and verified by XDA, there's a message inside of the latest Skype for Windows preview that says, "Starting in May, Skype will no longer be available. Continue your calls and chats in Teams." That's followed by a note that a certain number "of your friends have already moved to Teams free", presumably based on your contacts.
