    The Verge:

    Microsoft is shutting down Skype in May and replacing it with the free version of Microsoft Teams for consumers. Existing Skype users will be able to log in to the Microsoft Teams app and have their message history, group chats, and contacts all automatically available without having to create another account, or they can choose to export their data instead. Microsoft is also phasing out support for calling domestic or international numbers.

    Teams is just evolved Skype anyway. If you look at the URL's, you can sometimes catch a "skype" reference in there.
    Yep, that or Teams.
