Deep linking Skype for business app with react native mobile app

Question

How can I redirect a user to skype for the business app if it is already installed in the device? Do I need to register my app to achieve this?

Answer 1

import { Linking } from 'react-native';

Linking.openURL('sip:[email protected]').then();

It will open a chat window with user [email protected]

Edit: To open app without any section, change the uri like this:

Linking.openURL('ms-sfb://start').then().catch(err => { //app not installed });
