I'm trying to create a link on a web page that will open a new Skype for Business chat window, allowing a user to send me a message. I created a link with the format href="sip:myname#example.com", as per this Stack Overflow post. However, when I click the link, instead of opening a chat window, it opens an email! How can I correct this behavior?
After a bit of confusion, we realized this is actually the expected behavior if you click a sip: link containing your own Skype for Business ID. Since you can't start a chat with yourself, the link instead launches a window to compose an email. However, if you replace the ID with that of someone else (or have someone else click it), you will see the expected behavior!
This may seem obvious, but it wasted a fair bit of our time this morning, so hopefully it helps someone else.

Thanks for taking the time to assist me.
At work we use a 3rd party online chat system using internet explorer. Basically what happens is we initially follow a link, login, a pop up window comes up with the chat control page where we would see a notification for a new chat
The issue we have is no sound plays, and it's very easy to miss a chat.
In theory could I easily learn in VB how to watch that specific window of Internet Explorer for a change, then play a sound when a change in that window occurs until acknowledged?
I want to be able to send a stream of data from a user computer to a web-service. That should not be too hard - I would use an application written in dot-net that resides on a user's Windows computer.
However, the tricky part is that the stream-of-data should only be sent (by the app) when the user clicks on a button or a link in a WEB PAGE that is open in his browser. The app itself would be minimized in the system tray. And he should be able to stop the stream by clicking on a stop-button (or link) in that web page..
So I found some info on stackoverflow that says that you can put a link in your page, something like: [a href='alert:"Hello World" ' ] and if you register your application (in this example the app would be called "alert.exe") in the registry, then when the user clicks on the link, he will cause the application to start, and to receive "Hello World" as a parameter.
Anyway, there are complications in my case. I want to be able to tell the application when to start sending data, and when to stop sending data, without starting new instances of the application. If the user clicks START, and the app is already open, I don't want it to open again. I do want a message to go saying "start sending" and if the user clicks on a STOP button (or link) to say "stop sending". The user might click on these web-page buttons several times in a session, and I don't want to close and reopen the program each time.
So a couple of questions:
Am I taking the right approach? Would "plug-ins" be a better idea?
If I am taking the correct approach, is there some way to send commands from a web page to an application?
Is it safe to have my app modify the registry of user computers?
If so, is there a set of commands for doing that?
Is the registry supported by Windows 7, Windows 8, etc? I know it is not supported on a Mac.
Thanks in advance.

P.S. (the info on launching apps from your browser was at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/aa767914%28v=vs.85%29.aspx).
I'm trying to register as a developer but I'm not receiving confirmation code to my cell phone.
I entered my country code + my phone number in the right form but still, I tried "resend" option couple of times, several phone numbers and still all my tries failed.
Can it be I'm blocked or there is a temporary failure at Facebook?
For anyone finding this via google, try this:
Not receiving your Facebook confirmation code?
Text "F" (without quotes) to 32665 and you should instantly receive the code
Hope this helps cut down on some implementation headaches people may be having.
Enter that into the corresponding area under settings on Facebook and boom it all works! (Dont forget to instantly deactivate SMS alerts otherwise you’ll be pestered every time a ‘friend’ mentions what they had for tea, plus you’ll be charged for it too)
I was wondering if it was possible to add a review box to my site that would automatically post to my Google+ Local page, and in turn eventually show as a Google review.
I just want the simple functionality of leaving a comment and star rating to my site to avoid having to travel to another page.
Is this functionality available?
I have found a slight shortcut by adding the query parameter ?review=1 to the end of the url which automatically brings up the review box once the Google places page loads, and have customized a message to try and entice a click but feel that the easier you make it on someone to leave a review the more successful it will be.
I'm sorry but we don't have that functionality.
I am implementing a simple webview application with only one url. I have over ridden back button function for webview navigation (which is working fine). Now my app has only one screen with webview and user visits the links inside main url and navigates using back button.
I want to know that, What is Microsoft Certification Policy as my application has only one screen so should it Close when user press back button anytime? Or Microsoft allows implementing of webview with over ridden back button functionality.
If question is still unclear Kindly tell me. I'll explain more but I need to know answer to this question.
Thanks.
You shoulld be fine, I have submitted applications which works like that myself which passed certification.
As long as the application quits when pressing the back button when there is no more "history" for the webbrowser control it shouldn't be a problem because the user still get the experience of moving "backward" in his use and can finally quit the app.
Regarding WebBrowser control and content of the app please consider this requirement:
"Your app and metadata must have distinct, substantial and legitimate content and purpose. Your app must provide functionality other than launching a webpage."
So, the application's sole functionality must not be only to launch a website.
This is not releated to back button but very important thing that need to be considered!
