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

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

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.

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?
