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.
