About our Skype status page integration
Skype (Free video calls and messaging worldwide with Skype) is a a Chat and Communications solution that StatusGator has been monitoring since January 2017. Over the past over 9 years, we have collected data on on more than 114 outages that affected Skype users. When Skype publishes downtime on their status page, they do so using 2 different statuses: up and warn which we use to provide granular uptime metrics and notifications.
If you're wondering, "Is Skype down?", or need to know its current status, we've got you covered. Our platform tracks every reported outage, performance issue, and maintenance window to ensure you're informed. Whether Skype is experiencing a problem now or has recently resolved one, our detailed history keeps you updated.
Many StatusGator users monitor Skype to get notified when it's down or has an outage. You can get alerts by signing up for a free StatusGator account.
-
Early Warning Signals
If we detect a potential Skype outage or other issue before it was reported on the official status page we will send an Early Warning Signal notification to StatusGator subscribers. 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.
