[quote=Fruitboot]Alright thanks, I have one more question if that's ok with you. Is there any way of telling whether or not the person you're calling has a working mic, other than hearing them? Like is there a little "Working Mic" icon or anything like that? If I'm not clear, let me know and I can try to explain my question better. The reason I ask is because I want to mic/webcam a female friend of mine that I met online, and she apparently has no webcam and has a mic, but "no sound goes through it".[/quote]
Well, that ain't suspicious at all.
There's a setting on skype that you can choose to hide the webcam from your contact list.
& for the mic, normally if she doesn't disable it, you can hear it, unless it's a plugged in mic, then it can be "not working" & no you can't see if it's working.
[quote=Miney]No. They can't.
Unless you disabled right after they answer the call.[/quote]

yeah, that's what I'm asking. I've never used it so I can't answer that question
Can you see if they have it disabled?
