Skype closing down

I heard skype is closing down in may. Is there anything similer that is free and easy to share like music and pics/vids?
.
I used it to talk to some family outside of the usa on it so wondering if anybody knows any good program similer to it?

So since Microsoft owns Skype, they are transitioning everyone over to Microsoft Teams. You can download and get it and use it for free, just like you can Skype.

Recently on Teams I did see a message that said "Missing your Skype contacts?" "No need to worry something something something Skype contacts imported something something"

So I think your Skype contacts will be moved over to Teams, just not sure when. Discord is another option. My friend and I share screen a lot, so for us Teams is a better alternative to Skype. We had some problems trying to use Discord with calling and share screen functionality.

@twiigss Paid Calls (calling landlines/mobiles) is being fully discontinued, though.
