Skype, the internet video call service, has gone down for many users around the world, leaving them unable to reach their contacts.
The service, owned by Microsoft, said on Monday morning that many users were appearing as "offline" even when they were connected, meaning they were unable to start making calls.
It said it was working on a fix.
The issue is affecting users in many parts of the world, including the UK. According to Down Detector, which monitors the status of several services, the outage is most prevalent in the UK, Europe and Japan.
"Some of you may experience problems with Skype presence and may not see online. We have detected an issue with the status settings of Skype," the service said on its status page.
"Affected users will not be able to change their status, their contacts will all show as offline and they will be unable to start Skype calls to them.
"We're working on a fix for this issue and hope to have an update for you soon. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused while we get this resolved."
