About Skype Status Monitoring
This page provides real-time status monitoring for Skype. DownSignal checks Skype's availability every 30 seconds by sending HTTP requests to their servers and measuring response times. If Skype responds within normal parameters, we report it as Operational. If response times exceed 3 seconds, it's marked as Degraded. If the request fails entirely or times out, the service is reported as Down.
