What to do if Skype is not working
Compare your issue with the local reports and map. Note the affected service and when the problem began before contacting Skype; report your own experience using the report button above.
How to interpret these reports
Direct reports are submitted by visitors. Locations may be estimated from their connection or supplied by the reporter. A low local count does not establish that service is working; the service-wide status and local report totals describe different areas. How our outage detection works
