For users choosing not to switch to Teams, Microsoft allows chat and contact data to be exported manually. This provides a way to retain records from past conversations and preserve contact lists.
Several features will stop working from May 5. These include SMS functionality, call forwarding, caller ID setup, and the ability to gift Skype Credit to others.
The retirement of Skype marks the end of a widely-used communication tool, with Microsoft integrating similar features into its modern Teams platform.
