Red LED light on Skype Video Call
 

sorry i was on a panic.

is the red LED light while on a skype call via wi-fi normal?

my first time using skype on n900 so i got scared, with the post somewhere that a red LED light means a hardware bug.

Thanks

Relax, its normal !

Re: Red LED light on Skype Video Call
 

In certain countries it is mandatory for any camera to display a light while recording video. This is for privacy reasons so people cannot secretly record others without their knowledge.

Even though anyone who really wanted to do this could just put black tape over it

With a name like Creamy Goodness I can see why you are worried :D

Which led turns on when on a video call?

If it is the front one (next to the screen) you may be able to disable it or change the colour with the app 'led patterns; there is an option in there for webcam.

Then let's put chewing gum on the led :eek:

Or we can save money on chewing gum by smashing in all the leds with a screwdriver. Why didn't I think of it before? :D

Re: Red LED light on Skype Video Call
 

Or send me your N900 and I will promise that the led will trouble you no more.

Hm, yeah, that was stupid, making the error signal and the recording signal look the same

Re: Red LED light on Skype Video Call
 

The error signal is red blinking, camera on is steady.

Hm, ok; but it's still not different enough, i didn't remember it blinking, just that it was red and stayed on for a little bit longer than most other patterns..
