minimize skype after autostart

"Launch skype in the background" is not an option now so I'm trying to bypass it. I tried to add this line to the autostart file:
&& sleep 5 && xdotool windowminimize $(xdotool search --onlyvisible --class Skype)
but this command opens skype as an empty window and I dunno why.
I tried to make a cron:
@reboot sleep 60 && xdotool windowminimize $(xdotool search --onlyvisible --class Skype)
It doesn't work as well and I dunno why.
Can you tell me why these options doesn't work for me and how to make them behave itself? :D
Tnank you!

This seems to be an XY problem. Newer versions of Skype does support starting in the background. Go to Tools > Settings and toggle on "Launch Skype in the background".

I have the latest version and it produces unclosable window if this option selected.

Strange! Works fine here, Skype v8.15.0.4 on Ubuntu 17.10.

Same version, but Ubuntu 16.04. I googled this problem and I'm not the only one who faced it. Good opportunity to learn shell scripting:D

I updated to 17.10 and switched from Unity to Gnome. It fixed the problem.
