How to Record a Skype Video Call with Screenshots

Recording a Skype video call can be useful for capturing important discussions, meetings, or even just reliving a memorable conversation. Thankfully, it's easy to record your Skype calls and save them as screenshots. Here's how:

Step 1: Start a call with your friend or colleague. You can do this by searching for their name in the Skype directory, clicking on their profile, and selecting 'Start Call.' If you want to record the audio or video, make sure you're using a computer - smart devices like Amazon Echo/Alexa-enabled smart displays don't support recording at this time.

Step 2: Click the More icon in the bottom-right corner of your Skype window and select Start Recording. You can do this even if you're using personal Skype or Skype for Business.

Step 3: When you've finished recording the call, either hang up or press the More icon again and select Stop Recording. The recording will then be finalized and processed, appearing in the chat once it's finished processing.

Step 4: Once the call has ended, you'll be taken back to the chat screen for your conversation. The recording will be captured as a screenshot of the entire call, including all audio streams, no matter how many people are on the call.

Note that when you start recording a Skype call, everyone in the call will see a banner notification indicating that they're being recorded. A message will also appear at the top of your window reminding you that the call is being recorded. This helps ensure everyone's aware and comfortable with the recording.

Skype recordings can be useful for various purposes, such as reviewing meeting minutes or saving important discussions. By following these simple steps, you can capture high-quality video calls and save them as screenshots for future reference.
