Record Calls, Messages & Video using Skype For Web SDK

Question

Everyone,

Was searching over the net but didn't find any article describing the information. Can any please tell me whether I can record calls, videos & messages using Skype For Web SDK ?

Sorry I didn't demonstrated any code cause I didn't find anything so Keep it short and simple.

Answer 1

I don't think Skype for web SDK team has any intention to provide Recording or Cognitive analytics ability to Web SDK in the near future. So i decided to go with alternative ways. After a lot of research, i have decided to use Skype Media bot along with Skype Web SDK to record audio and video conversations.

1. Create a Skype Media Bot and add Skype for Business as channel.
2. Register this bot with Skype for Business online ( Only Tenant Administrator can do that)
3. Make sure in each conference, this Skype Bot is also invited by default. So this bot is a participant in each conference call. It records audio and video.
4. Skype Bot has simple interface to Record, Respond, Convert audio to text and many more features.

Github samples can be found here

Skype Bot framework has NodeJS and C# APIs.
