Both input/ouput of Skype call picked up by Audacity

I’m recording my portion of a Skype call for a podcast but Audacity, rather than just picking up my audio, is recording both myself and the person I am speaking to.

Yes, don’t use Audacity to record Skype, even only just your side. The specialist Skype recording apps can record each side cleanly to separate channels, then you can edit either channel separately in Audacity.

How to record skype calls on audacity

Don’t, because Audacity is not intended to record Skype. At best you will get both sides of the call mixed into both channels, and at worst you won’t be able to get the other side at the correct volume or there will be volume fluctuations when they speak.
