The Skype video messaging feature is useful when you want to communicate with someone face to face. There may be times, however, when you might prefer to hide your camera, either for privacy reasons or because you want to reserve video chat to close friends and relatives only. While you could simply unplug your webcam, this is not always possible with laptops that have built-in webcams. Skype does have an option to hide your webcam if you prefer communicating with other users via text or voice chat only. Warnings Writer Bio
