Skype - not allowing connection

Sam Russell

I have a peculiar fault - Skype is not allowing me to connect to the home page. Not even the echo is working.

Any ideas?

Issues with Skype status and calling
By My status Leonas Sendrauskas on September 21, 2015.

We have detected an issue that is affecting Skype in a number of ways.

If you're signed in to Skype, you will not be able to change your status and your contacts will all show as offline even if they are online. As a result, you won’t be able to start Skype calls to them..

A small number of messages to group chats are not being delivered, but in most cases you can still instant message your contacts..

If you aren’t signed in to Skype, you may be experiencing difficulty when attempting to sign in. Any changes to your Skype account such as your Credit balance or your profile details might take a little while to be displayed..

You may also have difficulty loading web pages on the Skype Community. For that reason, please check back here for future updates..

We're doing everything we can to fix this issue and hope to have another update for you soon. Thank you for your patience as we work to get this incident resolved.

Skype was down for me most of yesterday too, back now. My Skype also keeps defaulting to Away status when I haven't set it (and I don't have the option to automatically do this in the settings..). Only have it installed on the one PC, strange issue
