Windows 10: Skype: How To Record Calls?

NiceAndShy · Jan 24, 2019

Hi computing experts,

I just want to record the audio content of my Skype calls between me and one other person into any kind of audio format. I'm not wanting to record video.

I know it's possible to record Skype calls from within the Skype now, but I don't want to use that feature.

I don't want to install a 3rd party app. I have Audacity installed and running so it'd be great if I could record Skype calls using Audacity or some kind of built in feature of Windows 10?

Can someone please help me with this?

Thank you for any help!

:)

Introducing Skype call recording

When we added video to Skype calls over ten years ago, the ability to share important moments with loved ones took a big step forward. Today, we’re introducing call recording to help capture special moments in a Skype call with your loved ones or record important meetings with your colleagues.

Call recording is completely cloud-based and is now available on the latest version of Skype and on most platforms, except Windows 10. Call recording is coming to Windows 10 with the latest version of Skype releasing in the coming weeks.

As soon as you start recording, everyone in the call is notified that the call is being recorded—so there are no surprises. If you are on a video call, Skype will record everyone’s video as well as any screens shared during the call. After the call, you can save and share the recorded call for the next 30 days.

How Skype call recording works

You can start call recording any time during a Skype call on both the desktop and mobile devices.

To start call recording on the desktop, at the bottom of the screen click the

sign, then select Start recording.

Start recording a call on desktop.

To start call recording on mobile, tap the

sign and then tap

Start recording.

Start recording a call on mobile.

On both desktop and mobile, a banner appears in your Skype screen letting everyone know you’ve started recording the call.

After the call, the recording is finalized and then posted to your chat where it is available for 30 days. You and everyone on the call can save the recording locally or share the recording to your contacts any time during the 30 days.

How to save a Skype call recording

More options and then select Forward.

When the Forward Message box is displayed, you can send to all the suggested contacts who you want to share the recorded call with.

Free software to record Skype calls?

Hey guys,

I was wondering if there's any free software to record Skype calls? I want to start my own podcast, and I figure that Skype would work for it's multi-way conversation feature, but I need a tool to record the conversation so I can edit it and upload it to my server. It has to be free, however. Any recommendations?

Thanks,

Ben.
