Is there an alternative? ... just incase this happens again. Mine has been down at least all of today. Fortunately I have not needed to use it.

[robblok]

Solved for me now.

[robblok]

We have identified the network issue which prevented users from logging in and using Skype today. We're in the process of reconnecting our users, and focused on restoring full service. The issue did not affect Skype for Business users.

My Skype service now seems to be functional

Phuket !.

[ukrules]

Well it's still not working here, that's just over 12 hours now.

The old ICQ running on the 'Pidgin' instant messenger software seems to be holding up quite well though.

[NOC]

3:40am, no skype

Go to QQ and Zoom folks, skype is not well written software.

[phitsanulokjohn]

Mine popped back in at 04.10 soon after I logged on and joined me for an early morning cuppa.

[Cloggie]

Looks like everything back to normal again, was able to login this morning without problems.

Looks like everything back to normal again, was able to login this morning without problems.

Why is it everything Microsoft touches turns to sh!te?

Yesterday Skype not working, today I can log in but Skype crashes every time I try to call.

So I uninstalled the latest version and reinstalled version "7.7.0.103" and it's OK.

What a pile of poop that company is becoming has become.
