Microsoft has announced the complete removal of advertisements from its Skype platform across all versions, including desktop, web, and mobile. This decision is part of a broader move by Microsoft, which has been gradually eliminating ads from its free services since July of this year.
In recent years, Microsoft had implemented ads across several of its free services, such as Outlook and Skype. However, with the latest update (v8.125.76.201) of the Skype application, users will no longer encounter advertisements during their video and audio calls.
According to the company, this measure aims to provide a smoother and uninterrupted user experience. Despite this change, it has been observed that Skype has lost users over time, particularly due to increasing competition from other similar services.
Skype, once a leader in video and audio communication, now faces competition from various other platforms. The removal of ads can be seen as an attempt to survive in a market where alternatives are more attractive.
