How to record Skype calls and share or save them

Microsoft recently started rolling out one of the most important features for its Skype users on Android, iOS and Mac platforms. The VoIP service now lets you record calls and save it locally or share it with others online. The feature was until now limited to clients who use the ‘Content Creator’ mode and has now reached out to more users around the globe. When a user begins recording, it alerts all the others in the call. It gets automatically saved to the cloud for 30 days before disappearing.

So how exactly do you record calls on Skype? Follow these simple steps:

On desktop:

Step 1 – Open Skype and enter into a call.

Step 2 – Click on the ‘+’ sign at the bottom of the screen.

Step 3 – Click on the ‘Start recording’ option.
