Early Warning Signals

We can often detect issues before they are officially acknowledged by the provider, giving you a head start on resolving any potential problems.

Down Notifications
Currently, down notifications are not supported by the Skype status page. That means all notifications from their page will show in the warn state. If you need better differentiation, please get in touch.

Warning Notifications
Warn notifications are used when Skype is undergoing a non-critical issue like minor service issues, performance degradation, non-core bugs, capacity issues, or problems affecting a small number of users.
-
Maintenance Notifications
Skype does not post separate notifications for planned maintenance work so we are unable to send notifications when maintenance windows begin. If you need Skype maintenance notifications, please email us.
