Do you talk to a large number of contacts on Skype on a daily basis? This should not be something strange for those who consider themselves a social or business person, because for either of the two areas interactivity (person to person) through a videoconference could always be required for the treatment of a certain number of topics.
Since Microsoft recently came to implement group videoconferences with Skype, many of them could be required by us, if the issue raised in this group videoconference has a large enough relevance for everyone. It is at that moment when we should try to acquire an interesting tool that has the name of TalkHelper, which it will help us to save absolutely each and every one of the talks that we do with Skype and on our Windows computer.
How to install TalkHelper on Windows to work with Skype
While it is true that download from the official TalkHelper website It should not represent any type of problems, they could arise if the installation process is not done correctly. The developer suggests that the chronological order for the installation of its proposal, contemplates that in the first instance you must have Skype installed on the Windows computer, regardless of the version number used for this video conferencing system. When Skype is installed on Windows, you will have to proceed to install TalkHelper, since the latter is actually a kind of plugin that will be incorporated into the rest of the functions of Microsoft's videoconferencing service.
Basically that is the only thing we would need to do so that everything is perfectly configured, having only to proceed to run Skype on Windows.
Where are the videos captured with TalkHelper via Skype hosted?
This is the most interesting part of all, since the developer has presented a system in which his proposal (TalkHelper) acts automatically every time Skype is opened and a video call or video conference system is started. This means that the user will practically not have to do anything at all, since the plugin will act on its own, recording the videos or audios depending on the type of talk that is running at that moment.
C:Users [Username]DocumentsTalkHelper
So that you can locate all the files (audio or video) that have been saved with TalkHelper only has to direct you to the location we have proposed at the top using only your Windows File Explorer. You must take into account that in this address that we have provided you will have to replace the "Username" with the username that belongs to you on the Windows computer.
General considerations for handling TalkHelper
When you go to the location we suggested above, you will come across audio or video files, which will depend on whether you used Skype for a voice or audio and video conference. You can configure this plugin so that such files are displayed in a specific format, which represents having the audio files in mp3 or wav format, while the video files will be of the AVI type but using the XVid codec as a compressor. Due to the latter, it may be you need to install some encoder package software If you don't currently have one on your Windows computer, otherwise, you won't have the ability to play these media.
The developer of this tool has mentioned a certain number of special features that it could handle within it:
- You don't need to activate anything with TalkHelper at all, since both voice and video conferences will be automatically saved to the location that we mentioned earlier, files that you can play without any problem with Windows media Player (or any other specialized tool).
- Despite the fact that the TalkHelper plugin works automatically, from its configuration the user can deactivate the saving of the file on the hard disk at any time.
- TalkHelper is compatible with all versions of Skype as long as it runs only on Windows.
Undoubtedly, this little tool can be very helpful for all those who interact with Skype on a daily basis, even more so from who may have held a conference, an online course or any type of important talk because with this, you can possibly comfortably review everything that was talked about in this Microsoft video conferencing service.
