What will be Microsoft's alternative to Skype 2019 when it goes EOL in 2024? My environment has no connection to the internet so Teams is not an option.

    Hi @Chris Herrin

    What will be Microsoft's alternative to Skype 2019 when it goes EOL in 2024?

    Are you talking about Skype or Skype for Business?

    Based on my research, there is no official document announced any alternative to Skype that will replace it when it goes EOL in 2024. However, Microsoft Teams is a popular communication and collaboration tool that Microsoft has been promoting as a replacement for Skype. Teams offers similar features to Skype, as well as additional features for teamwork and project management. It's possible that Microsoft may encourage users to switch to Teams as an alternative to Skype.
