Calling Skype person by Shortcut Tile?

Patrick McCabe 6 years ago in Panels (dashboards) / Special Tiles • updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 6 years ago • 3

I used the suggestion of the example to call someone by creating a Shortcut using the string below:

But it doesn't call the person, it just opens up Skype. Is there a setting in Skype to force it to call the username I put in the string.

Thanks

skype:john.doe?call

What tablet / phone / browser, please?

Using Fully Kiosk on a FireOS. Also, tried it on a normal Android smart phone with Chrome.

When I just try it in a browser as a url it ask the question, "Are you sure you would like to call". Skype is probably expecting a Yes to that question, not sure if I can pass that in the string.
