How to Record Skype Calls on Your iPad

As we know, Skype has already arrived on the iPad via the App Store, but like everyone else, many users are still trying to figure out how to record Skype calls on their iPads. It turns out that doing this is quite simple; just follow the steps below.

While there are countless tools that allow you to record Skype calls on traditional computers, recording them outside of iOS has been impossible until now. Now you can use a tool like "Voice Recorder" to capture the audio of your Skype calls in reasonably good quality. Once you install your preferred tool, Quick Voice is recommended.

Step 1:

Open Skype and call as you normally would call anyone.

Step 2:

Switch Skypes and open your recorder, and don't forget that nothing is recorded before this.

This method is quite basic and simple, using your device's built-in microphone and speaker; it doesn't integrate with Skype itself. Importantly, it doesn't work with headphones connected to the iPad. The recorded audio must be 5MB or smaller.

Obviously, new methods will emerge over time, and we're sure of that, but a one-day app is the best you can get right now to record your Skype calls on the iPad. There's still no ability to record video calls, but for a podcast or anything similar, this is the tool for you.
