Will this do a good job recording a conversation on Skype if I have it sitting on the same desk as my laptop and it's external speaker?

Yes. I use it to record conference calls from the speaker of the computer and works like a charm.

The mics in this recorder are sensitive. It might sound s little bit tinny that way, but it will do it.

Yes, it will work fine for this. Remember that MiC is a USB condenser microphone with a cardioid pickup pattern. So when I record conversations I don't put the MiC in the middle of the table. Instead, place it at the side of the table where nobody is behind the microphone. The sound quality is excellent when recorded on iPad or iPhone.

I would say yes, though of the bag of 5 that I received 2 of them had a high noise ratio when recording. I currently use one for voip that I clip to my shirt and it works perfectly on my laptop.

I've only used this for a real video camera. I don't think it works with Skype unless you were using a Sony video camera for your conversation, which would seem to be a big mess to me. Better keep this with the camera itself. Sounds great in that regard.

I don't think this will work for you then. It works best for me when it is placed on my computer desk in front of me. I use mine primarily for VOIP applications such as ventrilo, mumble, and teamspeak (for MMORPG playing). Hope this helps.

Yes. It is not as loud or good quality as if you were recording someone talking directly, but it is clearly audible.

Hello,If your computer has "MICROPHONE INPUT" and recording software MAYBE okay to use. However just want to remind you that the sound produce maybe very low and sometimes unable to hear. Hope this helpThank you

No its a piece of garbage, u get what u pay for. I connected to laptop, I recorded my voice but it still has poor quality. Don't waste your money.

Camera is rear facing only - isn't going to work well at all for Skype vid, speaker isn't loud enough really on it's own, headphones would be ok. Mic seems fine.

I wish I could help you. I'm using it for voice over one end is connected to the computer, the other side is connected to my mic.

This all depends on "YOUR" software.. if your asking can you record audio with the software included? yes it has a line in function, so you will be able to record audio heard by the microphone, watch out for reverb/feedback from your speakers.. This is a micro-phone.. if the person/audio is in the area of you microphone, it will pick them up.. if your asking if the software will tie in SKYPE on another feed/source.. i don't believe so..

Yup. It also works great as a travel speaker that is better than your laptop speakers. Don't want to bother people around you? Plug your headphones into the 3.5MM jack on the side. The Laptop will show this device as both a speaker and a mic.

Yes! I have used it to record voiceovers on PowerPoints and PhotoStory presentations. After practicing a bit, I notice that it's important that you keep your mouth a reasonable distance (about 3" to 4") away from the microphone extension (the little cyclinder you adjust) to avoid voice distortion. Calibrate the microphone according to your desktop or laptop specifications also.

It will work sound wise but the mic wont unless your laptop has a jack for it

I have not tried it on Skype. It records very well without cutting out at all.

Yes! I bought this laptop for my wife and she used skype a couple of times on it and it worked great.

I've only used this with Skype. I just plugged it in and then went into the video settings in Skype and selected the camera. Worked fine.When I've used this for meetings, my team requested that I use a headset for audio instead of the camera, as the sound is much clearer that using the camera mic.
