I have an hyperlink in my mail signature to launch a Skype IM (sip:mememe@company.com); I would like to add one to a Skype call, not a call to a phone but a Skype to Skype call; I tried
callto:mememe@company.com
callto:sip:mememe@company.com
call:mememe@company.com
but no cigar. Does any one have an answer?

Can you try:
<a href="skype:********?call">Link will initiate Skype to call my Skype username!</a>

Hello,
It's HTML, I've tried it nevertheless, does not work. Maybe there is no 'sip:' equivalent for a Skype call. – Darth Vagrant – 2017-08-10T11:44:51.007
1This will work only if the skype: protocol has been configured in the client's OS/e-mail client/browser. – AFH – 2017-08-10T11:54:34.700

The answer by Brian Folan is correct, according to the Skype blog:
Where you would enter a web address, enter skype: followed by your Skype name. If you want the link to start a chat instead of a call, add ?chat after your Skype name.

Hello, I want to create a common hyperlink to launch a Skype call inside my organization; I have created one to launch an IM using 'sip:me@myorganization' that works; if I try the suggestion, it does not, either the HTML or the 'skype:me@myorganization' or the options that I posted before.
Thank you for your interest. – Darth Vagrant – 2017-08-10T13:54:28.960
This requires a handler be configured on the destination system for that protocol. Unless Skype itself offers such a handler, it is unlikely you'll find the solution you're looking for. – music2myear – 2017-08-17T20:59:42.450
