If you have an iPhone, you may have realized that you have no native way to record video calls coming in through FaceTime. Does that mean there is no way to do it? Well no, there is a solution that we will show you right away.

The main application used in the iPhone to make a video call is FaceTime, and as you well know, there is no way to record the video conversations that we have through it.

This may leave some of you a little confused, but when we tell you that all of this has a solution, the look of your face will surely change.

We can use FaceTime on iPhone, iPad and Mac and record that video call in a few simple steps, without having to use third-party software to do it.

Requirements to be able to record video calls

The requirements are quite few and simple, since we only need a Mac computer and the QuickTime Player program installed, something that will not give us any headaches, since it is pre-installed on macOS.

As you can see, the requirements are not many, but it requires us to have a Mac computer and this can be a serious obstacle according to customers, since not everyone can afford to have a computer like this.

How to Record Calls on iPhone or iPad

To be able to record calls from an iPhone or iPad, with their audio, we must use a Mac computer as we have already mentioned. There will be no difficulty in the process as you can observe.

The way to accomplish this task is as follows:

We connect the iPhone or iPad to your Mac using a Lightning / USB-C cable. After that we start Quick Time Player on Mac then we click on the Archive menu and we select New Recording of film.Now we click on the arrow next to the record button in the QuickTime window.Then we select the iPhone or iPad from the list of available cameras.At this time we unlock our device with iOS and we will see how the iPhone or iPad screen appears in the Mac computer's QuickTime Player. Next, we need to make sure that the volume bar is on, dragging the slider to increase or decrease the volume sound recorded from the device. The time has come to start the FaceTime application on the iPhone or iPad and at the same time click Burn in the QuickTime Player of the Mac computer. We can now start a FaceTime call on the iPhone to record it with audio using the Mac. When we have finished the FaceTime call, it is time to click on the Stop QuickTime button to end the recording. Then we must go to the Archive menu and choose save. At this moment we must select where we want the call video is recorded and once decided, it only remains to click on save for everything to work.

As you may have read, it is much simpler than it seems at first glance. The only drawback, which we have discussed the lines above, is the fact of needing a laptop Mac, which is not very feasible for many users.

Otherwise the steps are very clear and the result is very good, worthy of the quality of the devices we use.

How to Record a Video Call on a Mac

If you have a Mac, you can also do everything we mentioned directly on the computer without having to use the iPhone, since the Facetime application is also present in the macOS operating system.

To achieve this, we must follow a few simple steps, which are easy to perform, but which we must perform in their corresponding order so that everything comes to fruition.

The first thing we have to do is launch the FaceTime application on the Mac, then we press Command + Shift + 5 on the keyboard to bring up the Screenshot toolbar. On this screen we also have access to the screen recording functions. In the toolbar we select Options from the screen capture menu. Then we select the location where we want to save the FaceTime call recordings in Save to. let's not change it, we should know that all screen recordings are recorded by default on the Mac desktop. Now let's go to the Options menu and we choose the Microphone option which is in the Microphone section so that you can record FaceTime calls with audio on your Mac. If you do not do this step, the video call will go out without audio, which is not feasible in most cases. We click on the buttons Record the whole screen or Record the selected part if we prefer to select an area recording. It's time to click on the Burn button and thus start recording the computer screen with macOS. We start a FaceTime call, with the certainty that the recording is recorded in the background .When the video call is over, click on the Stop Recording button on the menu bar at the top. So we have already successfully recorded and a video call from FaceTime to the desired location.

From there we can do whatever we want with this video, review it and even share it if necessary.

It is the way to record video calls on our iPhone or iPad devices, as well as directly from a computer with macOS.

It is a real pity that Apple does not decide to place a form to be able to record video calls natively as if they had other similar programs.

Nevertheless, it is very easy to save it, since all you have to do is use, as you may have read, a Mac and the program, previously installed, QuickTime Player.

There are no complicated tricks, no illegible commands, or anything like that, so anyone will be able to do it without any problem. The only concern is if you have to use a Mac computer, yes or yes, whatever something that will not be available to everyone.

Hence the request that has been made for a long time to the company of the bitten apple to install a native mode, either within FaceTimme or in the operating system itself.
