Microsoft Edge creates link that calls Skype for Business when clicked

I would like to ask on how to remove this hyperlink in Microsoft Edge whereby it calls Skype for Business whenever it is clicked. I cannot find in the settings on how to remove it.

Below is the sample screenshot for your reference.

When the user clicks on the hyperlink, it will call the Skype Lync application

Any help would be appreciated here as I am currently new with this environment.

Here is the simple code behind of this html page.

<html>
   <head></head>
   <body>
      <p>Ishijima Domon 3 - 1234567 </p>
   </body>
<html>
Solution

  • From the post of Patrick, this solved the issue. - Add <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en" > in the <html> tag - Add <meta name = "format-detection" content = "telephone=no"> to remove the auto hyperlink.
