Record incoming and outgoing calls Record incoming and outgoing calls
You can set Skylook up to record all calls, including incoming and outgoing calls, automatically with no further intervention from you during each of the calls. (NOTE: All calls are recorded, including those made directly from the Skype window or using a Skype phone).
If you follow the steps below, all of your conversations will be saved as MP3 attachments to standard Outlook items in an Outlook folder called “Skylook Conversations”. You will be able to tell which calls are outgoing and which are incoming via the subject line of each item, and by looking at the standard Outlook “From” and “To” columns to see who the call was placed to, or who the call was received from. (These steps assume you have Outlook installed – see Skylook prerequisites for details)
1. Set up Skype and Skylook if you have not previously done so.
2. In the Skylook toolbar, click the options button:
3. Set up the Recording options as follows:
…then click OK.
4. Start a call or get someone to call you. You can do this directly from Skype if you like – Skylook will record all calls, whether they are started from Skylook or by other means (including Skype phone calls if you use a Skype phone).
5. When the call is finished, go to the Skylook Conversations folder:
(Can’t find it? Choose “Go > Folder” from the main Outlook menu, then choose “Skylook Conversations” from the list).
6. Note that the “From” and “To” columns show you who made the call and who received it. If you do not see both of these columns in your folder, right click the column headings and choose the “Field Chooser” option. Drag the “From” or the “To” field to the column headings.

Hi Remco,
Thanks for pointing out that these are difficult to find. The help above has been updated to tell you how to find them. Also, the latest version displays a window after the call is complete, with a button you can push to go straight to the Skylook Conversations folder.
Regards,
Paul
The information says
“5. When the call is finished, go to the Skylook Conversations folder:”
I dont know how to access Skylook Conversations and the instructions do not say.
I made a call but I cant access it with the limited information provided.
Hi George,
I believe Roadrunner is a VoIP service independent of Skype, so Skylook won’t work directly with RoadRunner. Of course, there’s nothing to stop you loading Skype on your laptop and using Skylook with it. Skype may even work with your phone if your phone installs itself as a standard Windows speaker and microphone device.
Skype is free and Skylook is free to try, so I recommend you install them both and see how you go.

I have a Sony Vaio Laptop FX-240, Roadrunner phone and web service. will I be able to use your services with what I have?
