Skype

We haven't received many problem reports for Skype yet.

If Skype is down for you, you might be one of the first to encounter an outage - please consider checking back later. It's also possible that the issue is local or related to your internal network or system.

Skype reports

Skype is an online collaboration and video conferencing service. When Skype is down, users may be unable to start video call, login may not be working or systems can't connect to the server.

Teams is the worst. In fact it didn't even transfer my contacts correctly, the ones I used most, well I couldn't continue talking with these people as it keeps saying "you're not part of this conversation" So what I did was the smart thing, I simply switched to GOOGLE CHAT which works wonderfully, reliably, and far better than Skype ever did under Microsoft. Google chat is your excellent replacement for Skype (or Teams.) Formerly it was known as Google Hangouts. 😊👍

@iloveprofits @miiriya1 Marian Croak's work on VoIP revolutionized communication, enabling cost-effective calls over the internet, powering platforms like Zoom and Skype. Her 200+ patents highlight her impact. VoIP offers flexibility and scalability but relies on stable internet, risking dropped calls

#Skype was supposed to be shutdown on May 5th, but it's still working on my PC... Mobile version stopped working on May 6th... I guess on #Android people can disable updates or downgrade to keep it working. #iOS doesn't support downgrading apps. Not gonna use #Teams until fixed.

#ajalugu nixCraft obituary: #Skype, a very old internet calling service, stopped working on May 5, 2025. Many people used Skype for their first online calls, so it was special to them, even if it wasn't always perfect.

and configs. If you’re seeing 404s or 503s, common issues include: Port conflicts: Apache defaults to port 80 or 443, but if something else (Skype, an antivirus firewall) grabs it, you’re blocked. VPNs can mask this but might need port tweaks (e.g., 8080).

@pa1ar @Skype SIP should be your solution (even if you happen to use a setup with Skype that includes desktop shortcuts with images to the person that should be called) Modern telephony (VoIP or also called "IP telephony") is using SIP anyways. Should be as reliable as your internet connection

@robbysoave @ryangrim The problem with Teams is that it was originally just re-written Skype code. “New Teams” is supposed to be a new product but I highly doubt they completely redesigned it.

So, with the inevitable shutdown of Skype just a couple of months away, I decided to download Teams and try signing in using my normal Skype login, like they suggested. I did it, but it keeps saying there's a problem. Anyone have thoughts on why this is the case @SkypeSupport

RishiUttamHK

@tibo_maker @levelsio I should preface by saying Skype has a service called "Skype out" which are calls not routed through the public internet, rather through a pabx system

@JMas117 @pcgamer I have the same problem. Nothing compares to how easy Skype is for International calls.

I have been using @Skype for all my professional conversations with my clients based in China mainland. Now that Skype is getting retired, I am facing a huge issue in communicating with my clients. I cannot use WeChat. They cannot use Teams. Any suggestions? #skype #help

Uppercut07

@kushanf21 @chamihin It seems to be a pattern with Microsoft though. They fumbled with the partnership with Nokia (Nokia had their own issues), then their own phone, and then Skype. They need to start caring at some point.

nnishantsigra

The shutdown of Skype underscores a failure to adapt in a competitive landscape. Teams may serve Microsoft better, but it highlights the transient nature of tech services. The legacy of Skype deserves a grander send-off. #TechTrends #Skype #Microsoft

jackbuckby

@MarvelMaskless I cannot navigate Teams. Every time I have tried to use it I have had issues with it. Skype is simple. You log in, you have contacts and chats on the left. You can make calls. Simple. It is a superior tool, imho.

ColdWarFran

@PeterPurplePim I can never get it to work properly!At home, the connection always breaks up and freezes, especially if the camera is on. I don't have superfast broadband, but I never have the same issues with Skype.

GubChummy

@NeilNevins My career definitely did have us all on Zoom instead of Skype circa 2020, but then after a few months we then dropped it in favor of Teams since all of us were using Word/Outlook and Excel for tons of our work anyway

@cb_doge Not any more. Skype doesn't work very well and I get spam calls on it.

I also have a huge issue with people who do not understand the physical limitations of a live video call, and how the camera works. The phone is held during the entire call for on-site/app calls. Skype has further limitations with how the tablet stand can bend...

@TomerStrolight The irony is that Messenger was THE messaging app for years. Then dune brilliant mind at Microsoft decided to have users migrate to Skype to boost the latter. However, awful execution and technical issues caused people to flee the platform. Another Microsoft-style success story.

"It's just an #AI wrapper" is a common thinking error. Postman is "just" a wrapper around cURL and makes $300M revenue. MacOS is "just" a wrapper around command line. Skype is "just" a wrapper around VOIP. Customers pay for convenience, not technology. AUDIENCE + UI = $
