Skype’s official shutdown on May 5, 2025, the world said goodbye to one of the most iconic communication tools of the early internet era. Over the course of more than two decades, Skype enabled millions of people across continents and time zones to remain in touch, not only to communicate, but also to love, grieve, and heal.

It was a witness to long-distance love stories, tearful goodbyes, and moments of emotional closure that would otherwise have never happened.
