How to Record Skype Calls [2 Easy Ways]

Recording can be started at the beginning of the call or at any time during the call. If you’re making a Skype call from your desktop or laptop, click the More button on the right-hand bottom of your screen. From the menu, select the Start recording option.

When the call session has ended, you can click on Stop recording. You can also simply end the call, and the recording will automatically stop as well.

How Skype call recording works

Once the call has ended, the recording is finalized. It gets posted to your chat, and you can view it anytime for the next 30 days. You can also share it with any of your contacts during this period.

Everyone else on the call can also save the recording for later viewing and sharing within the 30-day period.

The files are stored on the cloud by default. You can click the menu button as you did with the recording, and then select Show in Folder to locate the file on your device.

To share a recording from your computer, select the Forward tab from the More button. The Forward tab gives you a list of suggested contacts you can share your call recording with.

You can also save your Skype video call recording by downloading it. This can be done on your desktop, laptop, and your mobile devices.

To save a call recording done on your computer, go to your chat. Click on the More tab. Select the Save to "Downloads" option. The recording will be saved in your Downloads folder.

Recordings appear automatically in the chat after they are made. If you need to delete recordings, click the three-dot menu option next to the recording. Click Remove, and you can then choose to delete videos. Check the boxes next to the recordings that come up and hit Delete to get rid of them.

To save a call recording made on your mobile, navigate to chat. Tap on the recorded call and hold. A menu will be displayed, and you can tap on Save. Your recording will download and automatically be saved as an MP4 file in your gallery.

When sharing a recording from your mobile device, tap and hold the call. Tap Forward from the options available. When you see Forward Message, select the contacts you wish to share the recording with and click Send at the top of your screen.

Launch the Skype video recorder. Select the recording option on the pre-recording panel and position the recording frame over the Skype window. The frame may also be manually resized later. You can record your Skype call in full-screen mode (in HD) by stretching the frame over the entire screen.

When the main recording panel appears, the System Audio and Microphone icons should be highlighted in green. This tells you that the call recorder will capture both the sound of your voice and the other person’s voice in the conversation. You can choose an audio input device by opening the list above the Microphone icon and clicking on the appropriate device from the list.

To make a recording of a Skype call, click the REC button. The recording process can be controlled by clicking on the Pause or Stop buttons in the program interface. You can also use the compact control bar, which can be found on top of the capture frame.

You can cut out unnecessary sections by positioning the marker at the beginning of the unwanted part of the video. Click on the Scissors button, set the markers at the beginning and the end of the unwanted segment, and click the Trash Can icon to delete it. Repeat if necessary.

Click Export to continue. You can choose a format for your recorded video by selecting one of the format options. Choose MP3 to save your audio recording file and MP4 for video recordings. Click the Save button.
