Unlike Skype, WhatsApp does not offer a built-in call recorder, which means it still needs a third-party tool to help with the recording, especially for PC users. And this article will introduce to you some handy tools and further solve the problem of how to record WhatsApp calls through these tools:
It might seem to be a bit of work to find a call recorder for WhatsApp, yet on the bright side, an excellent third-party tool can help you to record more than just WhatsApp calls, you can also use it to record streaming video, game, tutorial, etc. Such a recorder will always come in handy one day, just make sure you get the right one. If you really find difficulty searching for a good recorder, maybe try WonderFox HD Video Converter Factory Pro, which is an all-in-one program. I use it to record literally every activity on my desktop screen and then edit the recordings within the same software. Below is the tutorial of how to record WhatsApp calls with this program. And then I will also show you an even simpler way to record WhatsApp calls on mobile.

Before start, please free downloadfree download the software.
Launch WonderFox HD Video Converter Factory Pro, then click “Recorder” in the middle.
In Screen Recorder, tick off “Stereo Mix” firstly to make sure the audio will be included in later recording. Then on the left side of Screen Recorder, choose “Full Screen” to record activities taking place on the whole screen or “Custom” to record a specified area on the screen. In the bottom area, you could select an output folder for the recording (This move is optional). When all is set, hit the “REC” button to start recording.
Tips: Before the step, you also have to ensure the Stereo Mix is working on your system - Right-click the Sound icon on the desktop > “Audio Devices” > “Recording” > Right-click to select “Show Disabled Devices” and “Show Disconnected Devices” > Right-click on “Stereo Mix” to “Enable”.
When the recording is over, click on the icon in the system tray or use hotkey “Ctrl+F1” to stop the recording. Then the file will be automatically saved to your local folder. Click the folder icon on the lower right corner to access the folder.
HD Video Converter Factory Pro also support recording a voice call as a video file. Yet if you need to save it as a single audio file, you could directly convert the video to audio as MP3, WAV, FLAC...in the Video Converter it provides. There is no need to initiate another program just to do the voice-recording thing. But if you're a Windows user, you can also take advantage of the built-in "Sound Recorder" on your PC without more tortuous steps. Here are the how-tos:
Right-click the Sound icon on the desktop > “Sound Recorder”. When a voice call comes, click on “Start Recording” to record the audio and “Stop Recording” to save it.
Nowadays, many smart-phones have their own screen recording feature, and it is hence a breeze to record WhatsApp video calls.
Step 1. Deliver a WhatsApp video call and stay within the interface.
Step 2. Open screen recorder on your mobile device. And follow the instruction to start and end the recording.
Attention: Make sure the audio source is from Mic. You can check the sound source in the recording setting by long-pressing the recorder.
Recording voice calls on Android needs a third-party tool. You can find many nice audio recorders in the app store. Here are the recommended some: Real Call Recorder, Cube ACR, Call Recorder for WhatsApp.
But things get much complicated when recording voice calls on iPhone as iPhone forbids third-party apps to access the phone app and the microphone. So perhaps the best way to record the WhatsApp voice call on iPhone is through a secondary device. Or maybe try to convert the recorded iPhone video to MP3 and more through the method I mentioned in Part 1 if a secondary device is not available.
At last...
I hope this article would solve some of your problems. And if you also find this article helpful, please feel free to share it!
