Skype for business URI instead of Skype

Tags:

As we have the option of opening links in skype by just providing the URI:

skype:xyz?call 

Can we do something similar to achieve the same functionality but it opens in Skype for Business? Kindly let me know.

Cheers.

Found a solution for this after a lot of research. Best alternative to work with Skype for Business:

sip:<[email protected]> 

This would open the chat window for the user and the user can do whatever they want from there.
