Question

I tried to insert the following snippet in my script. By clicking the link it should do a call to a Skype account. I’ve been looking for hours now, but can’t figure out why it doesn’t work.

<pre><code>&lt;a href=&quot;callTo://USERNAME&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://goodies.skype.com/graphics/skypeme_btn_small_green.gif&quot; border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</code></pre>

Is it accepted in any way or do I miss something here?

Answer 1

Try “callto” (with no uppercase letters).

<a href="callto://+***********">Link will initiate Skype to call my number!</a>

<a href="skype:********?call">Link will initiate Skype
   to call my Skype username!</a>
