Why do you record Skype calls? Do you use your Skype recorder for your business or for personal call recording?

I use Skype recorder for recording my personal calls as well as all my business calls.

I record all calls when outsourcing my business tasks. I also record all my business calls and all calls with my bank, insurance agent, shops,.... It is very important to have such recordings in case of any dispute or even a law suit.

I also record my calls with my family. I just want to save some of them as family history.

And I record online training sessions like language lessons.

• To protect your business (to avoid disputes and conflicts with colleagues, subordinates, contractors, customers, ...)

• To record interviews (with clients, for podcasts, for writing articles,...)
• To record calls with support
• To record instead of making notes (to refresh things and catch up anything missed during the call)
• To record online conferences for those who can not participate in them (like your colleagues who are on vacation).
