From skype to teams without phone number of email address?

Question

At work it becomes topic number1. Skype is heading for end of life.
I am a bit worried.

My current skype is based on Username/Password.
Teams seems to depend on phone numbers or email addresses.

Does anyone know, if shortly, skype users will be able to login to Teams without depending on phone numbers or email addresses.

I do not want to loose the credit card balance that is stored in the skype account.

Hi @matjung

Current Skype subscription users can continue to use their Skype Credits and subscriptions until the end of their next renewal period.

After May 5, 2025, the Skype Dial Pad will be available to remaining paid users from the Skype web portal and within Teams.
