How to launch skype from another hololens application through script

edited November 2016 in Skype for HoloLens

I am making an app which should launch skype on click of a button. I ahve used the following code :
var success = await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri("skype:"));

It launches windows installer which takes you to the windows store, even though skype is installed in my hololens.

How to make it launch skype directly from the installed apps.

    Yeah even i followed it closely and found that they haven't given out the uri which connects the skype in the current version i.e. skype for hololens. Hope that they do it in the near future.
