Step 3 - Recording a conversation
There are a variety of way to capture both ends of a telephony call or online conversation. Some of these allow people to listen in live, others do not.
Simple
Conversation Recording Programs
Webcasters cannot use this method to stream a
conversation so non-participants to listen live, but is the easiest way
to simply record a conversation so that it can be published online
afterward. The Simple
Conversation Recording Programs page has a
list of programs that can be used to record Skype calls.
There are also several telephony programs listed
other than skype that support call recording.
Web Conferencing Services
The Conferencing Services Page lists are a variety of conferencing services that allow webcasters to record online conversations. These can be web-based, telephone based, or a combination thereof.
Advanced Recording
Methods
These methods will let you capture and record all ends of a
telephony call and/or all sounds on your computer in a way that allows
you to stream that audio out to services like Shoutcast, Ustream,
& Livestream so that others can listen live. These
methods involve a number of variables including Operation System and
hardware specifications. They can be the most challenging for
webcasters to figure out, but provide more flexibiltiy and streaming
options.
