Markdown – How to Create a Skype Call Link

markdown

From this page I learn how to extract my personal skype user name link: skype:username?call . When inserting it into a paragraph using markdown, [Skype](skype:username?call), the link (when posting the note via nvALT to peg.gd) shows up but does not work. How can I get this to work?

Best Answer

You can simple use this to call on Skype.

callto:<username>?call

HTML markup:

<a href="callto:<username>?call">Call</a>

And this works, I have tested on peg.gd.

Eventually this also works:

skype:<username>?call

HTML markup:

<a href="skype:<username>?call">Call</a>

This might be a problem with protocol on your system (if the skype: thing does not work).

And about the markdown, it works, I used:

[Skype](skype:<username>?call)
