Azure bot connection to Skype consumer does not work although it is listed

Question

I try to create a Azure bot and connect to Skype consumer. I use the simple "Echo bot" sample and it basically works but not in Skype.

These options are available as channels in the bot config:

Direct Line

Microsoft Teams

Skype

Slack

Web Chat

Most options work. Web Chat successfully works, even Telegram works.

When trying to connect Skype, a Skype login is shown 2x and then an error is shown:

Oops, something went wrong at our end

Sending one of our engineers to fix it. Give it a couple of minutes and try again.

This already happens for many weeks.

I tried to get help from business support without success, they blame Skype and do not see any way to contact Skype support. Note: this is not about the outdated Skype for business product, but Skype consumer.
