Skype integrates a new feature that allows you to record the audio of calls: here’s how it works

To use Skype you no longer need to download and install the program on your computer. Skype for the Web”, an online version of Skype that can be used without having to install the software, has been available for a few months now. Just enter the credentials of your Microsoft account to access the service and start chatting with colleagues and friends.

To use Skype for Web on your computer you must use Chrome and Edge, the only two browsers supported by the service. Microsoft has motivated this choice by saying that they are currently the two browsers most used by users. Skype bets a lot on this new platform, so much so that it has just released a new version that integrates new features. For example, with “Skype for Web” it is possible to record audio calls to be able to hear them later. In the work environment it is a very useful feature that will be used a lot.

Skype for Web, what’s new

With the new release of the platform, Skype for Web becomes a versatile and very powerful tool. The most interesting feature concerns the possibility of recording the audio of calls made through the service. When you end a call, you can listen to the audio with your colleagues or friends to better analyze the directives received. It is a very powerful tool that will solve several work issues.

New features also regarding notifications and searching within conversations.

A dashboard has been included to manage the notifications received: if you are mentioned within a conversation, a notification will appear through which you can access the chat directly. Also simplified is the way to search within conversations: just type a word and all the occurrences where it has been used will appear. There is also a content gallery where you’ll see links, images and videos shared in a conversation.
