How To Resolve Skype “Your Connection Is Too Weak” Error?


As I mentioned above this is a known issue mainly coming from Skype’s end because of some problem on their end. As per update shared by Skype’s team they already have addressed the error and the error should not come to users, but in case you are still experiencing this error then below are a few suggestions that may help you to deal with this error.

  • Our first suggestion for you will be to restart your router, and then perform a speed test for your internet. In case you have an unstable or slow internet connection then contact your ISP to report the issue, or connect your device over an alternate internet connection.
  • If your internet is working fine then check and make sure that you are using the latest version of Skype.
  • Try switching between the Skype desktop app, their web version, or their smartphone app to check if the problem is specific to any of their platforms.
  • Try calling any other person in the same region, if the error doesn’t come then it’s also possible that the other person’s connection is weak, not yours.
  • If the error still continues then try visiting the Skype server status page at support.skype.com/en/status to check if Skype is facing any problem with any other services.
  • If nothing above helps you with the issue then the last resort you have is to contact the Skype support team to report the issue.
