How to Recover Lost Video Messages in Skype [2026 Tips]

I occasionally do interviews over Skype as a music writer. I had to utilize third-party Skype call recorder software the last time, but it had been so long since I had done one using Skype that I had forgotten. I just wrapped up an interview, and I don't believe it was taped! Is there a way for me to have the video call back?
