However, one question is within concerns of many. Is it possible to record Skype? Answer is yes. Record a Skype call in your windows is easy.

Many computer users use windows operating system today. One reason for using windows by most people is that windows is users’ friendly and is easy for lay person.  As we compared the computer users around the world, technically knowledgeable persons in computers are very few.  Most of other operating systems are designed for high level IT tasks. Contrarily, windows are devised for accountants, lawyers, engineers, writers and much more. Therefore, windows are used by each kind of professional today, except few IT kinds of people or technically savvy in IT kids.

When using Skype people like to record calls as well. This need of recording was present from days even before windows operating system became common. People used to record telephone calls for many purposes in 80s and 90s. One reason was to keep legally protected and safeguard legal rights. For example: many calling centers even today record calls. Same way, people who become harassed by collection agents like to record calls to pursue legal claim in Fair Debt Collection Act of America.  Since, people are calling and receiving calls mostly from Skype, they like to record calls on Skype as well. Especially, calling centers use Skype heavily and have to record their each call.
