Skype links are broken in calendar events

While I can see the detail in the body of the calendar event. the clickable like doesn't automatically, place the meeting id after the phone number. The phone number link still automatically brings phone/dialer up and dials, but that's it.

In the body of the calendar, I see the Phone number +1 (123) 456 7890 that is a functioning link (underlined). Then a broken string of text as follows in the quotes "tel:+ 1%20[area]%20[phonenumber],[meetingid]%23>"

I have a samsung galaxy s6 running Nougat: Versions 7.0

I've tried other calendar apps and its the same thing with all of them.

Hi and welcome to Android Central. If you are referring to a Skype for Business meeting, the only Calendar app that I've been able to use that feature in (besides iCalendar) is Nine with Exchange integration. Even then you have to tap the number then tap the pin, but it puts it in the dial string and enters the pin after the bridge answers.

You could try Outlook for Android. It may have it now since they are both MS products.

Thanks for the reply. I actually use nine because it allows me not to have a security measure on my phone (just a pin to access my enterprise email) But whether I click the link in nine or the native samsung calendar only the phone number string works. If I type in the [phone nubmer];[pin]# in the location field of an Outlook meeting invite then no problem. However, not everyone does that in my organization.
