To complicate matters even worse, I use an external Logitech Professional Web Camera which has its own set of built-in microphones. Recording both sides required me to leave my internal speakers and mic enabled, creating its own issues. To prevent feedback, I often used headphones for calls, but QuickTime only recorded one side of the conversation not very helpful. At times, I could get the video portion, but audio was difficult to capture. I tried using QuickTime with little success and often with negative results. All free solutions were difficult to setup, hard to get quality video and/or audio, and were often too complex and cumbersome to setup when a professional client was on the call. I began searching for options allowing me to accomplish this task. I was having weekly Skype sessions I wanted to record for future viewing. If you use Skype in any way, I highly recommend you give this product a test drive. Are there ways to record your sessions using other tools? Yes, but nothing simpler than using Call Recorder for Skype. It seems strange that one of the most popular audio/video collaboration tools written by Microsoft lacks basic recording functionality. The trial is fully functional, but note a watermark will be applied to trial version recordings. What is even better is the developer provides a seven-day test drive for free so you can see for yourself how easy it is to use. You can even set the tool to record your call automatically.

With this small, simple to use product installed, recording becomes as easy as pushing a red button. That is, unless you are using “Call Recorded for Skype” developed by Ecamm software. Sounds easy, right? Nearly all web conference and collaboration tools have a record functionality, Skype must also correct? Well, you would be wrong assuming this, Skype lacks any means of natively recording calls. Shortly before the call begins, you realize it is important to record the session. You quickly install and run the Skype application.

You have a video or audio Skype call on your Macintosh with a family member, a friend, a co-worker, or a business partner.
