Hi, my startup screen keeps saying "Skype home unavailable." I have logged out several times, but this still continues to show. I have Windows 9 and 64 bit Explorer.

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed?
Make sure your connection status is set to online.

  • Skype Home Unavailable for weeks - what can i do?

    Hello,
    Please could you help?   Since updating my skype on my Windows 7 laptop, i've been unable to make / receive video calls on my laptop (i do not have a smart phone or a tablet).  The message i have on my home page is "Skype Home Unavailable at the moment. Check back later to see your news and alerts."  I have Windows 7 & 64 bit version, Service Pack 1.   I have tried your troubleshooting help on your support page and disabled the compatibility mode as advised and i have rebooted my laptp to no avail.  Your help pages extensively cover problems with Windows XP (a downgraded version of mine) or Windows 8 however not much is mentioned about windows 7.  My daughter in Australia has been trying to call me and i would really like to see on a call with skype. 
    Any help would be grately appreciated,
    Many thanks
    Allen

    Your connection status on Skype is Offline. When Online, the status icon next to your name must be solid green with a white checkmark inside. Try to change the status using the dropdown arrow next to this icon.

  • Skype home page

    Hi There
                When I try to sign in to Skype  I get the message that Skype home page isn't available.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled Skype twice now but still see the same messaage.  This has been going on for a week.  At the bottom right-hand corner of my computer there is a grey icon with arrows spinning.  I have windows xp and internet explorer 8.  Can you help me reconnect to Skype?  Thanks

    I have the same problems regarding using Skype to call internationally to Lima Peru using a windows 7 desktop with the latest version of skype.
    I have been receiving this notice "skype home not available" check later"  . I have tried to
    remove  the program and then download it again . I am using the latest version of Skype but to no avail.  I have credit in the account and I want to use the service  and I should be able to use it like before it was purchased by Microsoft. With the modifications done lately  a lot of the previous options have been deleted. For example there is no option to dial the number by yourself (soft phone)  among other previous options that have been deleted without any reason.
    If the number is mistaken there is no option to EDIT the contact either.
    Skype was  simple ,fun  to use,  Not anymore.
    If the moderator is reading this thread please do something about it.

  • "Skype Home Unavailable"

    I've got this problem for more than a year
    every time i enter skype this is what i see
    "Skype Home Unavailable
    Skype home is unavailable at the moment. Check back later to see your news and alerts.
    its easy to start a conversation on skype:
    -Choose a contact and start talking
    -Call a phone or mobile from the dial pad, or send an SMS"
    i can call contacts, text them, change profile pictures and do what ever i want
    the only problem is with Skype Home
    doesnt work...
    i got Windows XP
    and the fact that i got this problem for more than a year shows you it has nothing to do with updating Skype
    how can i fix this???

    IE8 is the latest version for Windows XP.
    Try this:
    Reset all Internet Explorer settings:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737
    Open Internet Explorer. Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN settings. Make sure that the only option selected is “Automatically detect settings”.
    Clear all Temporary Internet Files.
    Open Internet Explorer -> Tools -> Internet Options -> General. In the section “Browsing history” press the “Settings” button and in the next window the “View files” button. Delete all files from the Temporary Internet Files folder.
    What do you see now when you open this link in your Internet Explorer?

    I've no idea if it's related, but recently I started getting an error on my Box Sync desktop client, saying "Navigation to webpage cancelled". This is their response. It means nothing to me, and I didn't even try the solution because it seems too much effort. But is it possible the "Skype home unavailable" issue is related?
    We made a recent security change to our servers because of the SSL3 Vulnerability. Our servers are now blocking SSLv3. This may cause your Box access with Internet Explorer (IE) to show an error message: "This page can't be displayed". (This issue may also affect Box Sync, Box Edit, Box for Office, Box for Outlook)
    This can be fixed in IE Advanced Settings for SSL/TLS. Microsoft is working on a security update for the IE browser. Until then, please apply the workaround below:
    Individual Users: Disable SSL 3.0 and enable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2 in Internet Explorer
    You can disable the SSL 3.0 protocol in Internet Explorer by modifying the Advanced Security settings in Internet Explorer. To change the default protocol version to be used for HTTPS requests, perform the following steps:
    On the Internet Explorer Tools menu, click Internet Options.
    In the Internet Options dialog box, click the Advanced tab.
    In the Security category, uncheck Use SSL 3.0 and check Use TLS 1.0, Use TLS 1.1, and Use TLS 1.2 (if available).
    Click OK.
    Exit and restart Internet Explorer.
    Note After applying this workaround, Internet Explorer will fail to connect to Web servers that only support SSL up to 3.0 and don’t support TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2.
    Your access to Box should work fine after applying the changes above and restarting IE.

  • Skype home insists on connecting to facebook

    Skype home says that my contacts have not been active recently and suggests that I connect to facebook (not happening because I don't have fb). I know that people have posted new mood messages and I have posted new ones myself, but none of them show up on the home. How can I get the home functioning and showing mood messages? I'm using the latest version of Skype.

    Me too, this is my page " hộp cơm hâm nóng " and i have a friend in my contact

  • Skype Home page not showing activity?

    When signed in to Skype through the MS account and linked Facebook side, when I clicked on the Skype Home page, I used to see all the current Facebook activity and postings from my Facebook contacts. now I only see the odd contact friend?
    I always thought this was a very useful part of Skype, has this now changed or is it me?
    Many thanks.

  • Skype Home Not Available

    Hello, all!
    So, for a while I'd log onto skype and get the message:
    Skype - No Connection
    Skype Home unavailableSkype Home is unavailable at the moment. Check back later to see your news and alerts.
    It's easy to start a conversation on Skype:
    Choose a contact and start talking
    Call a phone or mobile from the dial pad, or send an SMS.
    Now, at first I thought it might be that I wasn't signed into skype, but I checked and ensured that I was in fact registered as online, able to send/receive messages but not able to view skype home. Then when I heard about the new update, I uninstalled my current version and installed Skype 6.12.
    Same issue- able to send/receive messages, but no skype home. 
    I'm running Windows Vista, 64-bit operating system. Internet explorer may be my issue, as it doesn't actually seem to work at all beyond google, but I don't know how to fix that problem at all.
    Help?

    The issue is with your Internet Explorer. Skype Home page is created using IE and this link:
    https://apps.skype.com/home/
    What is the version of Internet Explorer installed on your computer?
    In Internet Explorer go to Help -> About Internet Explorer.

  • I cannot send/receive photos or view my Skype home...

    Since I first downloaded Skype, I have never seen the Skype home or have been able to send or receive photos. They have always been unavailable for me. Everything else works fine, though (video messages and such).
    I'm pretty sure I have the most updated version (7.4). I use Google Chrome as my browser and my laptop runs on Windows 7. I heard that installing IE8 works for most older computers, but I'm not too sure it'd work for me.. Please help ;-;

    On Windows 7 computers you need to update your Internet Explorer to the latest IE11 version.

  • Skype Home refuses to comply with my wishes

    So for several weeksI haven't been able to use or see skype home. It's not too inconvenient, but I mean, I'd like to see what my friends post and are up to.
    I've tried updating skype and that didn't change anything.
    Any other suggestions?
    The exact message it gives me is 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If your Internet Explorer cannot display this link, then Skype will not be able to display the Home page either.
    The above link is used by Skype to display the Home page. The https://apps.com/home/ site is loaded using Internet Explorer engine.
    Try to reset all Internet Explorer settings to default.

    Also make sure that the apps.skype.com site is not blocked in your Internet Explorer.

  • Can't Join Group Chats, Can't Receive Files, and Skype Home Doesn't Work

    Okay, so back when Windows 8 was newer I got my current laptop and when I saw Skype's original Windows 8 design, I said hell no to that and downloaded an earlier version of Skype instead. When Skype did that big overhaul and stopped support for all older versions, I was at least happy to see it was back to being on the desktop instead of that Windows 8 pseudo-tablet nonsense. But at the same time, I stopped getting notifications from Skype Home - it always says it's unavailable. Some time after that, in between Skype's updates, I started having trouble with Groups. Every time someone tried to add me to one, I couldn't see it, even if they said I was in it on their screen. Eventually I had to start making all Group Chats myself, because at least then it worked for me... up until the 7.7 update. Now no matter how I try to get into a Group now, it straight up doesn't work. And before I got locked out of Groups entirely, I started having issues with files, right around when the "inline photos" thing happened - they just don't work when sent to me, and I can't send them either. When people try to send them to me it's just a grey image and something about how it's not supported or it didn't go through.  I've sort of just been patiently dealing with all of it until the newest update when Groups stopped working entirely and I was in the middle of trying to join an important conversation. I Googled that specific issue and found a ton of unresolved threads about it dating back to at least 2013, I believe. I tried every suggestion I could find - I restarted, uninstalled Skype, reinstalled Skype, restarted after uninstalling and then reinstalling... the list goes on. Every time I got it back, it was the same. Now I'm on Windows 8.1, and I don't know if that's related, but my boyfriend - who uses a Mac - is having none of these problems whatsoever, and he also has the latest version of Skype.  With older versions of Skype not available, I ended up trying Skype Web, and it's letting me see all the Groups, which is the most important thing but I'd really prefer to go back to the desktop version. All three of my issues might be unrelated, but they've all progressed as Skype has updated so I figured I'd try to get help for all of them. I'm at my wit's end, here. I use Skype for a pretty large portion of my online communication, and being unable to use Groups or get files is really crippling the experience. 

    Hi,
    I have the same problem.
    Since I'm using my new Laptop with Skype 7.0, I can't join to a group chat.
    It's a public chat and joining is enabled.
    With my former laptop and former Skype-Version, I never had this problem.
    I could click on a link in the browser and joined to the group.
    I have to chose a program.
    Unfortunately Skype.exe seems not to be the right decision.
    I'm asked to get a Skype-app, which I never needed with the old version.
    Which kind of app do I need and how can I get the app or what else can I do?

  • Skype Home not working

    Hi...I have a laptop and I have had problems with skype home in the past, but not it will not work at all. It keep spinning. 
    I am using windows 7 professional. Last nite I used piriform defraggler instead of the one built into my computer and now skype home won't work. I don't know if that is the problem or not.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Faith

    Try to reset all Skype settings.
    Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old. Restart Skype.
    N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.
