How can I count the duration of my Skype video calls?
So I'm curious how much time I spent on Skype video chatting so far. I can't go through my history and check that because I unfortunately need to delete history since some people are too nosy.
So question is simple: does Skype count how much you've used video call so far?
Skype uses an SQlite database for storing your data. I tried this on a Mac, but it's probably very similar for Windows.
- OS X: Locate the file
main.dbin ~/Library/Application Support/Skype/profile-name - Windows:
%appdata%, then /Roaming/Skype/profile-name
Open it in an SQlite browser of your choice. Run the query:
SELECT SUM(duration) FROM calls;
… and there you go. The result is in seconds. I can't seem to find a reliable query to differ between video calls and voice-only calls. The video_disabled field is always unused.
