a href attribute for Skype chat

I am trying to create an a tag leading to Skype chat. The problem is that Skype did not give me an ID. People find me only using my first and last name. I tried this but it didn't work.

<a href="skype:John Doe?chat">

see the null space? John &nbsp Doe.

How can I type it so it works properly?

E.g: I do not want to use my phone number.

Thank you

Solution

  • Alright so I found a workaround. I added myself from a new account to see what is my Id.

    It has this form live:b3e263c856585e34 .

    So I used this <a href="skype:live:b3e263c856585e34?chat"> and it worked fine. Strange but it works
