> Where is Skype now?

A good chunk of Teams’ backend is built on top of Skype. Not sure about the present day, but just a few years ago, you could see tons of references to Skype in the Teams’ codebase.

Still can, Skype was rebranded into a more successful product, but the backend has ton of legacy Skype work inside it still.

There is zero Skype legacy in Teams. Skype P2P model was rewritten after acquisition to enable spying.

I worked with the source code directly a few years ago. The grandparent comment confirms that what I saw back then is still the case today (assuming they have access to the source code in the present day).

With that in mind, where does such confidence on your end come from?
