Microsoft will drop support for older versions of Skype on March 1

Microsoft will discontinue supporting older versions of Skype, in a move to sift to a modern, mobile-friendly cloud infrastructure for VoIP calling, from March 1. Well, that’s to ensure new and advanced features, such as video message saving, cloud file sharing, and mobile group calling, are available to everyone using Skype.

Beginning March, users running Skype 7.16 (and below) on Windows or Skype for Mac (7.0 to 7.18) will no longer be able to sign in through that app; and the solution to this is upgrading to the latest version of Skype on respective operating systems.

Go ahead, and update Skype, if you fall in the above category!
