JAKARTA Shocking news came from Skype, a communication platform developed by Microsoft. Initially, the app was very popular, but the platform has experienced many setbacks.

An informant, quoted from the How to Geek report, stated that Skype would be discontinued for all users. In other words, this platform will be abolished. This news strengthened after Microsoft launched its latest Insider preview.

The Skype app Insider preview shows that the company has added a number of strings into the dialog box. Once these strings are launched, the platform will display a warning that they will no longer be available from May.

For those who still want to connect with a number of friends in Skype, Microsoft directs them to download free versions of the Teams communication platform. Generally, this application is used to support the company's work ecosystem.

How to Geek provides evidence that Skype's termination news has been included in the RibbonMessage string. Microsoft also created the BannerContent string to help users track which friends have already moved to the Teams platform.

A string containing news of the closure of the Skype platform was revealed on Friday, January 28. There has been no official statement from Microsoft regarding the findings. If it is seen in the device's internal code, it is likely that Skype's closure will indeed occur.

Although many users realize that Skype continues to experience setbacks, this news is quite surprising. If Microsoft is able to compete with other popular platforms like Discord, Skype will remain as popular as its heyday.

Unfortunately, Skype's upgrade doesn't seem to be growing even though Microsoft is still rolling out some updates. It looks like Microsoft has given up on this platform for a long time. In the coming weeks, Skype will be Microsoft's 'artifact'.
