Skype downtime today

Earlier today, we noticed that the number of people online on Skype was 
falling, which wasn't typical or expected, so we began to investigate.

Skype isn't a network like a conventional phone or IM network - instead, it 
relies on millions of individual connections between computers and phones to 
keep things up and running. Some of these computers are what we call 
'supernodes' - they act a bit like phone directories for Skype. If you want to 
talk to someone, and your Skype app can't find them immediately (for example, 
because they're connecting from a different location or from a different 
device) your computer or phone will first try to find a supernode to figure out 
how to reach them.

Under normal circumstances, there are a large number of supernodes available. 
Unfortunately, today, many of them were taken offline by a problem affecting 
some versions of Skype. As Skype relies on being able to maintain contact with 
supernodes, it may appear offline for some of you.

What are we doing to help? Our engineers are creating new 'mega-supernodes' as 
fast as they can, which should gradually return things to normal. This may take 
a few hours, and we sincerely apologise for the disruption to your 
conversations. Some features, like group video calling, may take longer to 
return to normal.


Enterprise products including Skype Connect and Skype Manager continue to 
function normally. 

Customers using the enterprise version of Skype for Windows may still 
experience delays signing in.

Stay tuned to @skype on Twitter for the latest updates on the situation - and 
many thanks for your continued patience in the meantime.
