How to Record WeChat Video Calls on PC or Mac

Recording WeChat video calls on your PC or Mac can be done using screen recording software. In this example, we will use RecMaster, a powerful screen recording software that can capture any area of your screen, including WeChat video calls.

Step 1: Download and Install RecMaster on Your PC or Mac

First, you need to download and install WeChat and RecMaster on your PC or Mac. The installation process is straightforward, and you can follow the on-screen instructions to install the software.

Once you have installed RecMaster on your PC, launch the software and select the recording mode. RecMaster offers seven recording modes: Full Screen, Game Mode, Custom Mode,  Program Window, Follow Cursor, Webcam, and Audio-only mode. For recording WeChat video calls, we recommend selecting Custom Mode. With Custom mode, you can drag to select the area of your screen that you want to record. It is particularly useful when you only want to record a specific part of the screen, such as the WeChat video call.

Step 3: Customize the Recording Settings

Once you have selected the Custom mode, you can customize the recording settings. The most important part is to turn on the System Sound and Microphone. Or you will not be able to record the conversations during that call. You can press the triangle button beside the System Sound and Microphone, and choose the Advanced option. And then you can choose the right device and test whether they work for you.

Other than that, you can go to Menu>> Settings to set the output format, quality, etc. And please note that the recommended and default settings are mostly the best choices since they are the best matches of quality and size.

Step 4: Start Recording

After customizing the recording settings, open WeChat and start a video call. Then, return to RecMaster and click the REC button or press Alt + 1 on your keyboard to start. A countdown will start, giving you three seconds to prepare for the recording.

Step 5: Stop Recording and Save the Video

To stop the recording, click on the Stop button in RecMaster window or Alt + 1 on your keyboard. The recorded video will be saved to the output folder and shown in the recording list. And on the recording list, you can play, rename, edit, locate, delete, and merge the recorded files.
