How do I make telephone links that Microsoft Lync can open?

I am trying to make a .html page that can work with Microsoft Lync. But, i can't seem to get it to work.

I would appreciate detailed description.

Example:

  • <a href="tel:123456789">Open a Lync Window the boss man.</a>
  • <a href="tel:txt:[email protected]">chat with the boss man.</a>
  • <a href="tel:call:[email protected]">call with the boss man.</a>
Solution

  • Ensure the "Lync click to call" add-on is enabled in your browser. With that the add-on enabled the following will work:-

     - <a href="tel:123456789">Open a Lync Window the boss man.</a>
 - <a href="sip:[email protected]">IM Chat with boss man.</a>

    Notice the "sip:" prefix in the second example.
