The Microsoft-owned video calling and messaging service is currently down and has been so for thousands worldwide most of this morning.

The company issued a statement saying it is aware of the problem and working on a solution.

"Hello, we are aware of an incident where users will either lose connectivity to the application and may be unable to send or receive messages. Some users will be unable to see a black bar that indicates a group call is ongoing, and longer delays in adding users to their buddy list."

It was then updated at 9am local time to say: "We're aware users are still experiencing problems - we're looking into this!"

According to downdetector, the online chat service has been having issues on and off for the last 24 hours.

There is no estimated time to when the current issue will be resolved.
