If discord were to ever permanently shut down, people would revive Skype just so they didn't have to use team speak

@midnightlunachr The Skype call ringtone scared me as a kid. Since we tried calling our family during a thunderstorm that caused a power outage.

If Discord goes down, I'm afraid we're gonna have to invent Star Trek teleportation bc I'm not migrating again, ICQ > MSN > IRC > Skype > Discord was enough.

I’m not saying the shutting down of Skype is THE reason why after a lifetime of being a Windows user I finally went full-Apple. But Microsoft certainly shot straight to the top of my shitlist for this. https://t.co/ux5R0qfs2B

Frequently asked questions

Is Skype down right now?

Skype appears to be working normally — report volume is within the typical range for this time of day.

Why is Skype not working for me?

We're not detecting a broad Skype outage right now, so a problem is most likely local to you — your internet connection, device, or the app. Try restarting the app, then your router. If many people report the same issue, this page will update to show it.

When was the last Skype outage?

We have no recorded outages for Skype yet.

How do I report a Skype problem?

Use the “Report a problem” button on this page and choose what's not working. Reports are anonymous and update the live status and outage map in real time.

How does Outage.Report know if Skype is down?

We aggregate anonymous user reports and monitor public social-media posts, comparing live volume against Skype's normal baseline for the time of day and region to detect anomalies — often before they're officially confirmed.
