However, thing is that the built-in recorder of Skype offers no service for audio recording. And if you want to transform your recordings to MP3 format, you need extra software for video converting. But the combination is so inconvenient, here I suggest you use a 3rd-party screen recorder to directly carry out this task.

How to Use MP3 Skype Recorder to Record Skype Meeting/Calls?

The reason why RecMaster is called an MP3 Skype recorder is that it is embedded with a special recording mode called the Audio-Only Mode. In this mode, users can record their Skype meeting calls and produce sheer audio files.
This mode is extremely friendly for recording online conferences.

RecMaster used to have a good performance on recording Slack calls, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom meetings.
Here is the step-by-step tutorial for recording Skype meetings in MP3 format.

1. Download RecMaster and install.

2. Call out the main interface of RecMaster and select the Audio-Only Mode. This is a mode typically designed for capture sounds only. It also is the secret why RecMaster is seen as an MP4-to-MP3 video converter.
In its setting panel, you can set audio format into MP3 or WAV if you are a Windows user, or M4A, or CAF for Mac version.

Don’t forget to manage the options of your audio sources. To record the intact Skype sounds, you need to turn on the “System sound” and fine-tune its volume. Microphone sounds are suggested to turn down to prevent RecMaster from capturing noises.

3. Navigate to Skype, begin your meeting calls, and start recording.

4. During the recording, you can control the process by pausing or stopping the recording. The audio file is saved automatically to local folders and you can find the audio in the Recording List.
