Skype Webcontrol has been removed from the Microsoft platform. Could 17 be related to the release of Skype for Web.

In this moment 16 it's strongly recommended to use an alternative 15 solution like Facebook Web Messenger for your site.

UPDATED 2018-09-05 (This information is not valid anymore)

Yes, now it's 14 possible on the following link Skype Webcontrol

The HTML 13 code to add a call button is:

<span class="skype-button rounded" data-contact-id="skype-user-name"></span>
<script src="https://swc.cdn.skype.com/sdk/v1/sdk.min.js"></script>

Set the "skype-user-name" and 12 voilá... nothing else is required.

OLD POST:

No, you 11 cannot embed Skype chat in your website 10 by the time this post is done. But these 9 are some resources that might be useful:

This 8 is the official site for creating a Skype 7 button in your website for chat or call: https://www.skype.com/en/developer/create-contactme-buttons/

But I will 6 have to advise that your visitors require 5 Skype Software installed and it's correspondent 4 extension installed. On mobile browsers 3 it will require only the Skype App installed.

This 2 is the HTML code for the website:

SKYPE CALL

<a href="skype:USERNAME?call">call using Skype</a>

SKYPE CHAT

<a href="skype:USERNAME?chat">Chat with Skype</a>

SKYPE VOICEMAIL

<a href="skype:USERNAME?voicemail">Leave a voicemail</a>

These answers are old and not relevant at 4 the moment. Using the unofficial NodeJS 3 API for skype, one can embed the newer cloud 2 based chat groups.

https://github.com/ShyykoSerhiy/skyweb (I am in no way associated 1 with this project)

var skyweb = new Skyweb();
skyweb.login(username, password).then((skypeAccount) => {
    skyweb.createThread([{"id":"8:someuserid","role":"User"},
    {"id":"8:live:someliveuserid","role":"User"}
    {"id":"8:youruserid","role":"Admin"}]);
});
