Moving from skype to teams does not migrate my chat history
I have the same problem with Teams Free and Teams 365. I just asked Copilot Pro the same question and contrary to some promises made by Microsoft, it said that neither contact nor history will be migrated. So, what is the point of adding my Skype credential to Teams?
My test with the Teams 365 Windows App and Browser version, just gave me a bunch of error messages and then I had to perform some clean up.
It is really sad how Microsoft seems to be handling this.

Hi I just downloaded Microsoft teams. Then I clicked on my profile photo (top left corner). In the menu, click "teams insider programme". Then it will ask you if you want to connect with skype acct etc, click yes / share. Then all chats will be uploaded. I was just chatting on Skype 5 minutes ago and everything is synced. I have a attached a screenshot below. Hope it helps.

i have joined into skype inside an teams inside. now i found chat/contacts appeared in teams on win11 desktop app.
but i found other 2 problems:
1)The pictures in the chat history are incomplete, only the pictures from the most recent period are displayed, and the pictures before that are not available.
2)The web version and Android app only have the records from the last month, and the records before that cannot be displayed.
