Click here to download Skype.

When you and the person you're calling are both on Skype, the calls are free. Oh, and video calls are free too.

All possible actions:

Call link
When somebody clicks on a call link, Skype will make a call to the Skype Name in the link. You can even use it to call normal phone numbers for people who have SkypeOut.

Example

skype:user1?call (Skype-to-Skype call)
skype:+14035551111?call (SkypeOut call)

Add to Skype contacts
This link will add the provided Skype Name to somebody’s contact list. You can also use these links to add SkypeOut contacts. Sharing is good!

Example

skype:user1?add (Add user1 to contact list)
skype:+14035551111?add (Add number to SkypeOut contacts)

Start a text chat
You can use Skype links to start text chats with your friends - or even chat with whole group of friends together!

Example

skype:user1?chat (Start a text chat with user1)
skype:user1;user2;user3?chat(Start a multichat with 3 people)

Start a conference call
Just like starting a normal Skype call - except with lots of your friends at the same time. 

Example

skype:user1;user2?call (Start a conference call with two Skype friends)
skype:user1;+14035551111?call (You can also use SkypeOut numbers!) 

View a profile
People can see your Skype profile when they click on this type of link. 

Example

skype:user1?userinfo (Show the Skype profile of user1) 

Send a file
People can send you files by clicking on this link. As always, be careful about accepting files, and have your anti-virus scanner turned on.

Example

skype:user1?sendfile (Send a file to user1)
skype:user1;user2?sendfile (Send a file to multiple people)
