The date of May 5 is approaching, the day when Microsoft will officially close Skype. It will be possible to continue chatting and making phone calls on Teams, but the famous communication platform launched in August 2003 will no longer be available. The news of the farewell to Skype was sudden, and the notice is not very much, since we are talking about a few months.
Microsoft It is obviously trying to converge all the users of the platform on Teamsbut there are also those who choose other alternatives, saying goodbye to the company. What matters most in the last few months is to save the material left on Skype, so not to be missed the conversations entertained in chat. Fortunately, it is possible to save a copy. After all, there are personal chats, or of working importance, which must absolutely not be lost.
For save All this material, it is necessary to reach the window “Export files and chat chronology”from there you can choose “conversations” or “file” – but you can both select – and click on “Send request”. Once the procedure starts, a message should appear attesting to the actual export in progress. In the same message there is also an invitation to recur on the page later to find the download.
The wait could be a little long, but it must not arouse concern. THE’downloadable archive It will soon be ready and the content – files and messages – will have extension .tar. To open them, any type of software will be enough capable of working with compressed files.
Following these steps it will therefore be possible to save all those Convezioni in chat that we had
during the long period of use of this program. Skype is a platform that had now reached 22 years of operation, after being launched on August 29, 2003. Microsoft decided to acquire it back in 2011.
