How to make a phone call on hololens
Akai

Hi everyone,
I will soon start working on an app for Hololens with Unity, and as the title stated it, I want to be able to make a phone call from it. I'm not allowed to open an other application outside of the one we're developing (but inside is ok).
We first headed to Skype. I didn't find anything about launching Skype inside our application (I'm not the only one struggling with it, and it looks like it's impossible), so I was thinking about embedding a web page into our application, which will display the online Skype page. But all the solutions I found were about XAML, and we're not using it at all. Is there any solution without using an UWP project ?
In case It's not possible, I started looking for a classical phone call. I know you can connect a device to your Hololens, so the question is : Can you connect your phone, and use the PhoneCallTask class(for Windows phone) via your Hololens application ?
I did not try anything, because I don't have access to the project yet (Not until next Monday), So the only thing I can do is search and compile information.
Thanks in advance.
