I am implementing an UWP application that can be used as background application for Cortana Voice Commands.
The UWP app should connect to Skype For Business 2016 MSO and start a call after the user enters a voice command (eg. "Hey Cortana, call Micheal").
As the application will be a small/sperimental internal project in my company (900+ employees using Skype for Business), I wanted to avoid having to setup anything on our Server hosting Skype. Therefore Skype Web SDK would not be an option for me.
Differently from this SO answer, where it is suggested to use UCMA API, I was wondering whether I can simply use the Desktop API to trigger Skype calls using the local Skype for Business instance.
However the Desktop API is designed for Lync 2013 and I do not know whether it is the way of proceed to integrate Skype for Business 2016 MSO.
