Working without issue my side.

Down on my side.

Working, but constantly showing the connecting circle and nobody appears online. Messages go through.

Login is also broken on the desktop clients.

I am on the desktop. It keeps showing the logging in icon, but the chat works fine.

Did you close the app, open it again and log in?

 

[Priapus]

No idea what to do then. They should be able to fix it soon.

I can chat with some overseas contacts. Local ones are a problem.

 

[Arthur]

Er, take that back.

Now the storm has hit this side too. I was logged in all weekend on the office PC. Maybe I was migrated to up nodes as the failure spread. But now it's died.

 

[SauRoNZA]

Yup, dead in CPT as well.

Works locally here too:

We have detected an issue with the status settings of Skype.
Affected users will not be able to change their status, their contacts will all show as offline and they will be unable to start Skype calls to them.

Instant messages are still being delivered as usual. The status issue also doesn't affect Skype for web, which can be used to make calls and send instant messages.

Issues with Skype status and calling

By My status Leonas Sendrauskas on September 21, 2015.

Updated 11:00 UTC

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 is not alone, it seems.

Yesterday (Sunday) AWS outage knocks Amazon, Netflix, Tinder and IMDb in MEGA data collapse.
