How To Record Skype Calls On Any Device 2024

Skype is among the most popular applications for chatting, voice and video calls, online meetings and conferences, and much more. Skype call recording is often needed, especially when it is a formal meeting such as a business conference. You can record calls directly on Skype if you have a Skype for Business account. However, if not, then it might get a little tricky to record for Skype.

This article will show alternate ways of recording Skype Calls, especially when we don’t have a Skype for Business account.

There are different ways in which you can Skype video and audio calls on different devices. For convenience and easy understanding, we have tried to divide this into three main parts:

• Recording on your Mobile Device.
• Recording on your PC
• Recording online, whether on PC or mobile.
