Communication is an integral part of human life. Computers made it much easier. Connecting people from all over the world, a program like Skype has tremendous potential, although sometimes it is not enough.
Many users sooner or later face the need to record a conversation on Skype. An important call from your boss, instructions from your wife to “buy this and that,” a meeting about work - there can be many reasons for signing up. However, the program itself does not have the ability to save all the calls made in real time. It is a pity that the manufacturer has not done this yet, but individual enthusiasts and development firms have tried for him, who have proposed their solutions.
Useful recording programs
For example, “Call Graph” can be distinguished among the common programs for recording on Skype. A reliable workhorse style tool. Nothing more in the settings, just everything you need. This is a small addition to Skype, which is automatically turned on every time after the first ringing tone of the interlocutor and ends after the call ends. Perhaps one of the disadvantages of the program is that it only records audio. However, for everyday communication, this is quite enough to find the necessary information or remember any facts. The mp3 format is used to save files, which is very convenient and does not take up much space. It's nice that this program is absolutely free.
Oddly enough, despite the great demand, there is still no option to record a conversation in the program itself.
If audio alone is not enough for you, take a look at a product like “Free Video Call Recorder for Skype”. The application perfectly stores both video and audio information. Differs in rich functionality. Can record regular video or picture-in-picture. Optionally, you can configure the software to record audio only or video only. Differs in a clear interface, not demanding on the "hardware", at any time you can pause the recording, and then continue from the desired moment.
Another useful program for recording any conversations is “iFree Skype Recorder”. Its distinctive feature is the ability to record entire conference calls. The program is free and available to anyone.
The ethics of recording Skype conversations
But before putting on any of the above programs, it is worth considering the ethics of the fact of recording. Some people will not want to be recorded, be offended by you, or otherwise express their dislike of what is happening.
If you record a person on Skype and do not notify the other person, there may be unpleasant consequences.
Therefore, before making such a recording, you need to make sure that the person (or people) being recorded has nothing against it. That such a record is justified by necessity, and it is not just pampering or gratifying curiosity.
