How to use HTML to do a Skype call?

Tags:

html

skype

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?

How do I link Skype to HTML?

Best way would be to try it out ;-) @vrunoa you can use url shortners to make http:// link that leads to your link "skype:profile_name? userinfo". And this http:// link will work great in any mail signature.

Can I integrate Skype into my website?

Go to http://www.skype.com/en/features/skype-buttons page to generate your Skype button and use it on your web pages to help people contact you through voice calls or instant messaging easily. You can embed this button using the self-generated HTML code of Skype.

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>
