PowerShell script to create Skype meeting in Outlook

I am able to create a code to create an appointment in outlook using Powershell. I want to create Skype meeting in outlook but not able to do that.

I wrote below script to create appointment in outlook

$Outlook = New-Object -ComObject Outlook.Application
$OutlookFolders = $Outlook.Session.Folders.Item(1).Folders
$tzs = $Outlook.TimeZones
$NewEvent = $Outlook.CreateItem(1)
$NewEvent.Subject = "Meeting";
$NewEvent.Start = [datetime]”6/13/2019 19:00"
$NewEvent.End = [datetime]"6/13/2019 20:00"
$NewEvent.SendUsingAccount = '[email protected]'
$NewEvent.Recipients('[email protected]')
$NewEvent.save()

I want to create a Skype meeting.

The Outlook object model doesn't provide any property or method for creating Skype meetings. What you see in Outlook UI is an add-on for Outlook. You can try to execute the ribbon button programmatically, see CommandBars.Execute method. You just need to pass the idMso value of the built-in control.

You can create a meeting using the Skype for Business User API (UCWA), which is now available for Skype for Business Online (Office 365).
