Placing a Skype video call with specific contact

[Emre Bağdatoğlu]

I'm trying to set up tasker so that it will automatically place a video call with a specific contact when triggered.

So far the most promising thread I've encountered was this one: skype call using username in android Which isn't about tasker intents, it turns out.

The code used is as follows: Intent skype = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW"); skype.setData(Uri.parse("skype:" + user_name + "?call&video=true")); startActivity(skype);

Would it be possible to accomplish this using tasker intents And if so, how?

Many thanks

Put

android.intent.action.VIEW

in the action field and put

skype:"user_name"?call&video=true

in the data field. Make sure target is set to activity. Might need to fiddle with the data field.
