Answer: Skype
Clues: “Video” and “Chat”
Microsoft killed it off yesterday in an effort to move people to their Microsoft Teams platform. The video chat app was founded in 2003, and then Microsoft bought it in 2011 for $8.5 billion.
It had around 150 million monthly users at that point. But then Zoom caught on during the pandemic, and it dropped to just over 20 million users.
Skype’s underlying software wasn’t really designed for mobile, so Microsoft decided to euthanize it as an effort to “streamline” their services. If you want to save your contacts or old Skype data, you have until the end of the year to export it.
