The company will allow Skype users to move to Microsoft Teams for free on any supported device using their Skype credentials, Jeff Teper, president of Microsoft ( MSFT ) 365 Collaborative Apps and Platforms, said in a blog post.

Users who don't want to migrate to Teams can instead export their data, including chats, contacts and call history, Teper said.
