Send instant message in Skype using HTML link - html

Is there anyway so you can make a link, that when you click it, you instantly send a message to a user in skype? Like I've seen:
Call me
and:
Start chat with me
is there anyway to make a link that sends a chat message, not only starting a chat conversation?
From here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn745878, it says the following: "Sending instant messages to an individual or establishing a group multi-chat.", but how?

You can open a Group chat in following way:
skype:user1;user2;user3?chat&topic=Topic
but you can only let the API write a Message as Software.
I think it was just a Typo, because a link can't do this...

Use the Skype Web Link
Open Skype
Click Profile Image
Click on "Share Profile"
Send to anyone

Create your own start Call or Chat button
You can create your personalized button with the Official Skype button generator (action, color and size):

Vimeo Api can not be created

I m trying to create an app on Vimeo web but it prompts that "verify your email first" I have already verified the email.
Please help me outenter image description here
Go to your https://vimeo.com/settings and verify your email address.
If you're unable to do so, contact Vimeo at https://vimeo.com/help/contact.
The problem is when you try to create your first app on the "My Apps" page. I got the same error OP described.
The solution is to go to any other page where you still see the "Create App" button at the top right. For example: https://developer.vimeo.com/
This worked for me. I doubt Vimeo support even knows about this bug.

Whatsapp Click to Chat sending an image instead of text

I want to send an image via the Whatsapp Click to Chat URL. Sending Text is easy.
https://wa.me/?text=LoremIpsum
When I click this link, it opens WhatsApp, and I can select which contact I want to send the message.
Now my question is, if its possible to also send an image through this URL. (maybe with an ?media=https://cdn.example.com/image.jpg parameter). The goal is to send an email to customers and let them click on a link so they can send an image from us to their friends.
Do I need WhatsApp Business for this? Or isn't it possible?
Thanks for any answer.
This is impossible with uri, but you can use Intents on android or use Navigator.share() method on webpages using javascript:
Android Intent: https://developer.android.com/training/sharing/send
Web Share: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/share
There are similar ways for other operating systems such as iOS, Windows, ...

Start a Viber chat when users click a link

I am trying to find a way to start a viber chat when a user clicks on a link like Start a viber chat with us but I had no luck so far finding the correct URI to do this. I know for example that I can use skype://username?call or skype://username?chat to initiate a call or chat with Skype. How can I do the same thing with Viber?
Thanks in advance!
Now, there is a solution to it.
You can use the viber://chat?number=1234567894 pattern.

Link to Skype profile fails

I am trying to create a link from my website to my skype profile. I saw this post by Alex Turpin Create application link to Skype profile. This works fine, When skype link is clicked it goes straight to my skype profile.
However if the skype link(Link to my profile) is clicked while the user is not logged-in skype, this fails(skype client crash).
So I removed 'userinfo' from this link(<a href="skype:profile_name?">) and tried again, Skype did not fail, it asked me to login, but after that it made a skype call instead of viewing the profile.
How can I resolve this? How to view a skype profile succesfully while user is not loggged-in skype.
Thanks.
I am afraid this is Skype's problem, it happens on all Skype versions. I reported this issue to them.
For now we can try a work-around(like Marin suggested in the answer below).
The following actions still works even if a user is not logged-in skype, try using one of them until we get a proper solution for this issue.
Text to call
Text to chat
Text to leave a voice mail
Text to send a file
Text to add to contacts
This question is quite intriguing.
The problem could be in Skype version or in Skype in general (or windows?). I've tested it with my current version which is 7.3.0.101 on Windows 8.1 and it's crashes as you said. You can report this to Skype support, but untill this is fixed (or you find any solution), I suggest you to try some workaround like
Link to my profile
Or you can try whatever action you like, but I think chat for now would be OK.

Why do I need an app to plug in a Like Box?

So I want to create a facebook feed to connect for my facebook, from what I understand all I need is a Like Box, but when I put in what information I want on the like box it says "Include the JavaScript SDK on your page once, ideally right after the opening tag." The SDK wants an "app ID", but I don't want to make an app, I just want facebook feeds to show up on my web site. Is there any way to 'not' make an app and just use the like box on my website?
Visit https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/like-box-for-pages while logged out. Then you won't be required to have an App ID.
