I rely on Skype mostly on my iPhone. Occasionally I use it on my Windows 11 laptop, but not very often. I’m usually logged into Skype from my iPhone. Do I just tap the Teams notification button and then everything moves to Microsoft Teams? Will I keep using Skype as it is, or will it change to another program? I’m a bit confused because I think you can’t switch between Skype video and something else.

Consider using the same setup on both devices. Since you’re mainly on Skype, keeping it signed in on your iPhone works well. You can switch between devices whenever you like—there’s no rush. It doesn’t require a special app download; just log in from the appropriate platform. If you’re unsure, press the available option and follow the prompts.

Install Teams and sign in; it will lead you through the transfer process. The Skype app will stop working after the deadline.

I downloaded Teams after clicking a notification. The process started with a question and I answered yes. The next step asked about diagnostics testing, which I declined. Then it asked if I wanted to sync my contacts. I was unsure because it seemed to suggest syncing all my phone contacts instead of just Skype contacts. Can you clarify what that means? I’m okay with choosing no and can adjust later if needed. I’m still trying to understand the purpose of syncing contacts now. The interface looks similar to Skype, so when I view conversations from people I previously chatted with, it displays their messages. It also shows messages from groups I’m part of. So, does syncing contacts restore that functionality?

Could you clarify what you rejected during the setup? You mentioned downloading the Teams app and encountering a question about syncing contacts, but you selected 'no' when asked if you wanted to do that. It seems your iPhone contacts were likely chosen instead of Skype contacts.

Maybe phone calls, Skype was also used for that purpose to check for existing accounts and add them if needed. If you already have your Skype contacts, it suggests they weren't added via Skype.

It’s understandable you’re checking everything carefully. The upgrade seems correct since everything appears consistent across Teams and Skype. To ensure smooth functionality when Skype stops working, you might want to log out of Skype beforehand. This helps avoid any unexpected issues.
