Skype for Desktop will be turned off??

[Grizzly]

I have read on several websites that Skype for desktop will be shut down on May 25th, 2018, probably in lieu of the new privacy law that will get in effect on this day as well. Truth or dare??

Try this one. The link above only referred, for me, posts about a year or two old.

OK....so I'm confused.....that link says old version of skype for windows. So are they talking about the App or the classic version? I've gotten no such email.

Personally, I don't use the Skype app...I use the classic desktop version.

) don't either Bass, so cannot comment. Maybe it has something to do with Skype for business?

It seems like that the "older" Version of 7.x is not affected by the shutdown (this is the version I have and it is still running)
