Skype call recording has been developed with various features and functions. But this recording function could only be available for Skype to Skype calls, and also all the Skype users should be notified ahead of time so that they would agree to be recorded. You should be clear that all the audio and video content would be recorded within the built-in recorder, including the moment once you share your desktop with others. It is quite easy to control the whole recording, including the start, stop and final call recording saving. What\u2019s more, the maximum duration for the audio recording would be 24 hours in one file. If your recording duration is over 24 hours, all the recordings would be split into several files to be stored. For your further keeping, you had better download and save the recordings once it ends because the recording would only be available for 30 days in your chat. Now if you are not familiar with the recording steps, then follow the simple tutorials below to record Skype audio with the built-in recorder.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1.<\/strong> Choose the device on which platform you would like to run, the desktop version of the mobile phone app version.
