Skype Split-Screen??

Does anyone know of a functional way to get Skype windows Side-By-Side instead of PiP?? We record our podcast via Skype and unfortunately have only been able to do so with PiP. I use Skype and OBS to do the recordings, because of OBS's granular settings options for recording good video. I have tried using a couple of 3rd party Skype recorder software applications, but they all have wonky recordings, low quality recordings or they have horrible UI's. I am just looking for a way to record our podcast with the windows for Skype in Split-Screen, or Side by Side. Grrr. Please help.

Would running multiple instances of Skype at once work?

Have tried that. Doesn't work. Creates an echo. Thanks for the idea though!

Couldn't you mute one of the instances? Then there'd be no echo?

Multi Window mode only works for more than one conversation. You have to have at least 3 people. It's frustrating.
