How To Auto-Record Videos on Skype Calls

How To Auto-Record Videos on Skype Calls

Posted on August 7, 2020 by Mona Leave a Comment

There are many instant messengers and voice-over IP (VoIP) software choices nowadays, but Skype has remained the most preferred platform. With over 300 million people using Skype every month, the software combines instant messenger, file transfer, and screen sharing with that of voice and video calls. This is what motivates many people to use the platform, despite being charged a fee to call a mobile or landline number. Skype-to-Skype calls are free.

Although Skype is known to be an excellent VoIP software that usually makes clear voice or video calls, it lacks the ability to auto-record calls. Recording Skype is only available to Skype-to-Skype calls and requires permission from all the parties involved. Is there a way to auto-record Skype video calls without the other parties knowing about it?
