I am interested in finding a program that will allow me to capture the Skype videoconference for future use. If possible, I would like to capture both sides of the conference (not just the audio portion).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

David

Excellent point Fritz, I’m so used to having a fast computer with good broadband I forgot to stop and consider that changes to Skype may make it harder to use on older computers. Thanks for the link.

Thanks Daryl for telling us about Pamela. I’ve used a range of programs to record Skype on both PCs and Macs so will definitely check it out.

I would remind people to verify that your system has all the system requirements necessary to run Skype (or any new software) appropriately. Skype requires quite a bit of RAM to run the video and audio plug-ins and users/teachers should make sure that their systems can handle it before installing. all the details can be found at http://www.skype.com/download/skype/macosx/ and there are links for windows and Linux as well.

If the computer does not have all the system requirements, the user can still run the chat or receive video, but sending video will over-tax the system.
