Skype for Business gets a few more months.

Microsoft is giving Skype for Business a few extra months of support. While the main Skype consumer app closed down earlier this year, Skype for Business 2015 and 2019 are set to go end of support in October. Now, businesses will be able to purchase extended security updates for Skype for Business, but only for an extra six months. That brings extended support up to April 14th, 2026.
