Can skype calls/ skype screen shares be hacked?

It is possible that your computer could be under control of a hacker. This hacker could have access to your webcam and or could take screenshots of your computer. It is possible that they could go undetected by AV software. All of this is possible. I would think the probability is low though. If a hacker has control over the computer, traces of their connection is visible. The most common ways to find them is to look in the following places. The Network tab in Task Manager. The Resource Monitor within Task Manager. The Windows registry. And the Windows Task Scheduler. If you are concerned that someone has access, and If you don't know how to look for the evidence, I would advise you to take your computer to a computer repair shop or have a friend who knows look at those places.

So while we would like to rely on encryption as a clear indication that there are no skype calls recorded that's not a conclusion we can make. The technology is potentially record able by the skype server. It's not confirmed but we have to assume that it is possible. Breached skype accounts are used to send thousands of spam massage before there are locked and the owners have to regain access.
