How do I hyperlink on Skype?

Go to your Links tab then add your social icon of choice by filtering the icon options and typing Skype in the search bar. Once you have added your Skype social icon, select the link or chain icon to add a URL or in our case for Skype, a URI.

If your mobile site is (generally) used by iOS devices, you can use :

<a href="skype:YourSkypeName?call">Call me on Skype</a> 

Apple iOS devices automatically recognizes intents in link with Skype and FaceTime.
