On a Mac or PC, as long as you have the right apps, you can always record calls from any app. Each is a powerful tool to record your screen, computer audio, microphone, camera, and more, then edit them into polished videos. Before the call, open your screencasting app and select both your system audio and your microphone. You can then trim and edit the audio before saving it to your computer. If you don't need all the bells and whistles from a screencasting app, don't need to record video, or just don't want to spend money on an app to record your calls, there are free options available too:.

You could even open a transcribe app like Otter or a notes app like OneNote to record the audio and turn it into text at once on the second device.
The clearest option—though also the most difficult—is to make a group call where one of the participants is an app that will record the call. There are a number of such apps on the App Store and Play Store that offer their own number to join a conference call.
Or, for one of the cheapest options, you can make your own with phone API service Twilio. Paste that into the Twimlets generator link as in the screenshot above, and copy the code. Save that.

You could also just call your contact normally, and add the Twilio number as an extra participant in the call as long as you have another phone you can have Twilio forward the call to.
Open the app, start a new call, then add your contact as a call participant.
