Windows 10: Windows 10 will receive the Skype call recording feature in the coming weeks

WinLatest · Sep 4, 2018

Today, Skype app for Android and iOS is getting a new update with call recording feature. But the feature is not yet available on Windows 10 and is unlikely to arrive this week.

In a blog post, Microsoft today revealed that the call recording feature for Skype on Windows 10 will be released soon. The feature would become available for everyone in the coming weeks when Microsoft replaces the Skype UWP app with a new cross-platform version of Skype.

Microsoft is no longer updating the old Skype UWP app with new features as the company is now working on Skype v8 which a cross-platform version of the app that works across all devices.

“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,” writes Microsoft in a blog post while announcing the call recording feature.

It’s worth noting that you can manually download Skype’s new app and try out the call recording feature. You can also download the Skype Preview app from the Microsoft Store and get early access to new features such as call recording, ability to find messages in conversations and more.

Skype features currently being worked on

Thank you to every Skype user that has taken time to share feedback with us. Your opinion matters deeply and helps drive our priorities forward. We are committed to making Skype the best and most powerful communication platform out there for connecting work groups, families, friends and classrooms around the world.

Calling, Messaging and Sign-in improvements are the top priority

Calling and messaging are the foundation of Skype. We believe every single call and message must be reliable and performant, as these are your lifelines to family, friends and co-workers throughout the day. Guided by customer feedback, we continually investigate reported issues in the fundamental areas to ensure:

Sign in is simple and it’s okay if you forget your password. We’ll help you sign back in!

Calls are clear and the video flawless, whether there are 2 or 20 people on the call.

Messages send quickly and reliably, wherever you are.

It is easy to manage your contacts; the ones you want to keep around and those you want to block.

Continued focus on a few key features missing from the new Skype

There were few key features we did not finish adding to new Skype (version 8+) in time for the larger product rollouts. We are committed to bring the following features to the new Skype and will provide status updates along the way.

Split window view for Skype on Windows 10, so you can see multiple chat windows at the same time

Changing the font size in a chat

Search for a message within a chat

Status improvements – how others see your online status

Privacy settings (call contact configurations) – more controls regarding who can call you

Making it easier to add a phone number as a contact

While the majority of our focus is on fundamentals and missing features, we’ve started rolling out a few highly requested features. One example is call recording functionality, which has been a very common ask from work groups, as well as teachers conducting Skype in Classroom sessions. In addition, this past week we were excited to start rolling out SMS Connect to Insiders. SMS Connect will let you read and reply to Android SMS messages from your PC. This has been a long-awaited feature by many. We’ll first gather feedback from Insiders, then roll out the feature broadly to everyone.

What are the best ways to provide Skype feedback?

We love customer feedback! Feedback is used to guide every release of Skype, here are some of the core feedback channels to Skype:

Skype Settings, via the Help & Feedback menu

Give feedback

Report a problem

Suggest a feature

Join the Discussion on Skype Community

Skype UserVoice – Share. Vote. Discuss ideas

Want early access to builds? Become a Skype Insider

As we provide features and fixes requested through customer feedback, we’ll update our Release Notes to communicate the details.

Sincerely,
The Skype Team

And not only that but also:

Windows 10 Anniversary Update will double the number of Start menu ads/promoted apps

Sure, all that stuff can be uninstalled but then again who needs more crapware

edit: without that W10 clean installation could've been much faster just like on ltsb version

clean out-of-box start menu on W10 ltsb
