How to Automatically Record Skype Calls
Posted on August 16, 2010 at 6:34 am
Since Skype’s inception in 2003, it has now become one of the most popular VOIP software applications. As of 2009, the total Skype users worldwide reached more than 500 million. Currently, it has approximately 13 percent market share of all dialed international calls — surpassing several big names in the industry.
Skype is a great way of calling people from all over the world. However, it lacks the call-record feature. One way to utilize this feature is to use the MP3 Skype Recorder program.
This software can automatically record all your incoming and outgoing Skype calls. The output audio’s format is MP3, so it’s easy for you to listen and share the recorded call. You can use it as a podcast or as an instructional audio.
Moreover, this application is very comprehensive and versatile in nature. First, you can disable the automatic recording and place the call-record feature on manual instead. Second, it can also record all calls done in a Skype Conference.
Third, it works in the background without the usual main interface cluttering your computer screen. And last but not the least, MP3 Skype Recorder can record both active and on-hold calls at the same time.
You download this tool for free at http://voipcallrecording.com.
Select Open with and click the OK button.
The next step is to unzip or extract the zip file.
You can either open the Windows MSI file or the EXE file. Both will start the program’s installer.
Select where you want to install the program and press Next >.
When the installation is done, hit the Close button.
Upon launching the program, Skype will prompt you with the Useful tip window. It will ask you to confirm whether or not you will allow or deny MP3 Skype Recorder to use Skype. To proceed, click Allow access.
This is the software’s primary interface. After the installation is finished, the program will turn on the recording feature.
If the recording tool is off, you can turn it on by clicking this button.
This is the Turn off recording button.
To open the Records Folder, just hit the button below. Your default media player will play your chosen recorded call.
To change the default storage folder for all recorded calls, press the Browse Folder button (squared in red).
You can also vary the audio’s quality by ticking one of the Recording modes.
The Recording BitRate can also be altered to suit your preference.
MP3 Skype Recorder’s primary interface can be closed. This way, the program will just run on the background without filling-up your taskbar or your computer screen.
The program’s tray icon is a convenient way to reach two of the software’s most important functions — the turning on and off of the recording.
