Skype seems to be having technical difficulties! Most users can login but they appear offline. Skype said that it is still possible to chat in most occasions but not possible to receive or make calls. It seems though that the web.skype.com is working! Also, Skype for business seems to be working without issues.
According to the Down Detector website the service appears to be out in a number of different countries worldwide. Maybe it is related to a major AWS outage which knocked Amazon, Netflix, Tinder and IMDb. The official twitter account of Skype (@Skype) posted the following message:
