Is there an href attribute for skype, for example "mailto:" or "tel:"?

I want to make a skype link for a mobile site, is there a way to use <a href=" to start Skype and add a user or call a user?

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

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

Apple iOS devices automatically recognize intent by link from Skype and FaceTime.

To turn your skype id into a link so people can add you to their contact list, use the following:

 <a href="skype:SKYPENAME?add">SKYPENAME</a>

Replacing SKYPENAME with your own.
