These days, everyone is becoming increasingly mobile. In terms of the gadgets that a person uses, those that he can take anywhere and use anytime, communication has become portable and convenient. The blurring of demarcation lines across nations and countries are made further by cheaper modes of communication. Whereas before one who is in another country has to pay exorbitant fees to call a friend or loved one at the other side of the globe, today the Internet has made this not only convenient, it is free.
That is the beauty of online communication tools such as Yahoo! Messenger. Yahoo! Messenger is pioneering in connecting people all over the world, no matter where they are, no matter the time of day, as long as they are connected in the Internet they can get connected with friends, family, and associates.
Before Yahoo! Messenger was known only for chatting but now you can also make calls, free of charge. This is very convenient if you have a startup business or if a relative or friend is living abroad and you want to talk to them. Further, thanks to the advances in technology, now you can even record these calls. Traditional methods via landline and mobile phone can be recorded as well, but not as efficiently as online conversation.
If you are the type who is sentimental, then you would really appreciate this. You can record a call from your niece who is just starting to talk. You can record a conversation with a loved one and have the joy of listening to it over and over again, not only in your head but also for real. If you are a professional, this would be helpful for you to track details and important information in the business conversation and transaction.
Although you cannot record a conversation within Yahoo! Messenger, it is easy to do by getting third party software. Programs like Solicall and HotRecorder are excellent choices to record your Yahoo! Messenger conversations.
Depending on the program that you are using, you will have to navigate your way to the record button. But that is easy. Here are quick steps to record a call on Yahoo! Messenger:
* Download and install the program. You may notice that the default setting is for Skype, just change this to Yahoo! Messenger. On the system tray, select “Activate for” then choose Yahoo! Messenger from the list.
* Set the program window alongside the Yahoo! Messenger window so you can click on the record button when you are ready.
* Make your call, and click the RECORD button. A timer will appear to show you the duration of the call. NOTE: In free versions of certain programs there is a time limit by which you can record calls, and then it will stop on its own. If you want unlimited recording time, you can purchase the program.
* Once your call has ended, click the STOP button.
* A window will pop up and prompt you to fill in information like filename, description, where to save the file.
* Save the file.
These programs typically also let you access saved conversations.
