video set to "true" in Skype video chat URI, but video is not enabled when
call starts

I'm using the Skype API from their site: skype apir/uri for video call
which saiys the following URI "Calls other people on Skype, and
automatically turns on the call originator's video":
skype:skypeUserName?call&video=true
when I start the intent, it places the call successfully, but the video is
NOT enabled, on either phone by default.
One suspicion I have is maybe everything after the question mark is
getting stripped. this is how I pass it in:
static String skypeURI = "skype:stablesentryremote?call&video=true";
public void initiateSkypeUri(Context myContext, String mySkypeUri) {
// Create the Intent from our Skype URI
Uri skypeUri = Uri.parse(mySkypeUri);
Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, skypeUri);
}
But this could just be a skype bug.
