Where did my Skype chat history go?
Skype was retired on May 5, 2025, and signing in to Microsoft Teams Free with the same account carried chats over. Look in Teams Free first. Use the same account you used for Skype.
Can I still export my Skype chats?
No, Microsoft's page says export requests were accepted for a limited time after the shutdown and that those dates have passed. There is no Skype export to ask for now. What is in Teams Free is what is left to work from.
How do I print Skype chats that moved to Teams?
Find the conversation in Microsoft Teams Free. Screenshots work today if the chat is short. A personal Teams account can also export its chats as a file, which we do not read yet: send it and we add a reader for it. The Microsoft Teams guide has the steps.
I have an old Skype export file. Can it be printed?
Yes, read receipts reads a Skype export made before the shutdown. Upload the export, or the messages.json file inside it. No matter what format your conversation is in, we guarantee we can get it printed, or your money back.
What if my chats are not in Teams and I have no export?
Then screenshots or the messages typed up are what is left. Ask the other person, because the same conversation may be on their account. After you choose your book, pick Screenshots, tick the box and upload them, up to 100, 20 at a time. They are read by Claude, Anthropic's model, only if you tick the box that says so, and we don't keep the screenshots. The screenshots guide has more. We cannot bring back what has been removed.
What does a book of Skype chats cost?
The paperback is $49 and the hardcover is $89, at any length up to the 700 pages included. The digital edition by itself is $19. US shipping is free. read receipts is not affiliated with Skype or Microsoft.
