It will record your video call using Side-by-side – portrait mode. The recorded video file will be stored on the Skype server and you can download it at any time.

The Skype build-in free Skype call recorder feature is already much more powerful than most third-party Skype recording software on the market, and most third-party Skype recording software is screen recording software. And most third-party recording software doesn’t offer an option for video recording mode. So you can use Skype’s built-in free call recording feature if you don’t need another recording mode.

For more selectable video recording modes,  you need third-party Skype recording software, such as Evaer, Super tintin.  They offer a variety of video recording modes, such as picture-in-picture, side-by-side (landscape ,portrait), separate video files, audio-only, local-webcam-only and remote-webcam-only mode.

The Evaer Skype recorder is the best one for recording Skype video calls, it supports all Skype versions under Windows. You can preview the recording results while recording the Skype video call, and you can control the recorded video channel in real time.

How do I record a full-screen video while talking to a mobile device using Skype?

Under the default configuration, Evaer call recorder for Skype will automatically adjust the aspect ratio of the video when the aspect ratio of the two sides is different.

If a mobile device is used by a Skype contact that you are talking to,  the Skype call recorder will automatically adjust (cut) The video aspect ratio when the video of the device is inconsistent with your video. This will get you the remote contact video with only the middle part of the image. If you want to get the same Skype video image as the original video, please disable the “Automatically adjusts the aspect ratio of the video images” option at Evaer call recorder for Skype software menu Tools > Options > Advanced tab.
