no video calls? thats odd...ive made video calls with skype on my phone. it worked fine although the front facing camera is a bit crappy.

Didn't want to start a new thread - so necroposting.

Is there a way to disable a certain group conversation in Skype on N900 without having to leave it, so that I could use it normally on my notebook? It is
Also, I do not want my front camera to be working with skype, how do I make sure it doesn't turn on occasionaly?

Eh? I'm not sure I follow. This is what I think you mean. You are signed in to Skype on your phone as well as on your PC. You don't want to sign out of Skype on your phone but you also don't want it updating the screen when you continue your conversation on the PC. If that's right, then sorry, you can't. That's just how Skype works. You can be signed in from multiple places and all of them get updated. What's more, if you run your conversation from place A while place B is signed out, place B will get updated with all the recent posts the moment it signs in. Group or no group, no difference.

Do you mean a video call turns on all by itself? That's not how it works for me. I have to choose when I am initiating a call whether I want audio only or audio+video. Same for receiving a call.

I mean I am subscribed to a group chat with over 60 people and they keep flooding it with messages 24/7 and it's ok when I'm on my notebook but absolutely unacceptable when I'm using skype on N900, it alerts all the time and even sometimes lags. I do not want to turn off alerts, just that chat. And I didn't find an option to block a group conversation, only to leave it.
Basically, I am ok with receiving video but I don't want to send any. On my notebook, I just disabled camera in device manager and that's it. I don't want to hit some button by mistake and ruin my privacy. So I want to either set front camera to never turn on in Skype either disable it (until reflash).

Wow, 60! My entire Skype address book is about 10.

I may be wrong but I don't think it is doable. At best you can sign out but you will get all the messages the next time you sign in, so you are pretty much stuffed.

Regarding the camera thing, I guess it might be possible to disable it with some dbus magic but I would not have the first idea how. Anyone?

Hi,

Do Skype group chats work on n900? I've found that my n900 stopped getting group chat messages. Direct Skype messages are fine and I still can receive and send them.

Thank you.
