Can I turn off the preview window?

Hi there,
Odd one this, but can the self-preview be turned off in iChat by any means?
I like to have a video call with my sister and her little 2 year old, but the 2 year old is fascinated by the picture of herself!! She is so engrossed, she will rarely interact with people at the other end of the video call! We've tried just putting a piece of cloth over than area of the screen, but she's wise to it now and pulls it away.
Is there a good way of getting rid of the small self-image in the corner of the video chat window?
Thanks!
David

Hi,
The Preview that becomes the Pic-in-Pic can be turned off in the Video menu (Hide Local Video) in iChat 4 and above.
Otherwise the answer is No.

  • How can I turn off the preview (overview) automatically executed when I launch Image Capture?

    I love using Image Capture, but every time I launch it, it automatically does a previes of my scanner's flatbed.  Most of the time, I don't use the flatbed.  I use the feeder to scan multiple pages. 
    My question is this:  Is there any way to turn off the automatic preview (overview) that Image Capture executes when it's launched?
    Thanks in advance for any and all assistance!   

    Not a direct answer.
    From Image Capture Help:
    Scan pages with a document-feeding scanner
    When you scan a document with a document-feeding scanner, the same settings are used for all the pages in the feeder. If your pages need different settings (for example, some are grayscale and some are color), separate them into different groups.
    Before you begin these steps, you need to open your scanner. For instructions, see one of these help topics:
    Scan an image
    Scan an image with Image Capture
    Scan an image with Preview
    Place the pages in the scanner’s document feeder.
    Turn on the Use Document Feeder option, if it’s present.
    Set scanning options.You may need to click Show Details to see all the available options.Here are some of the options you can set. The options available to you depend on the scanner you’re using. Some options aren’t available on all scanners, and some scanners may have more options.
    To choose the type of image being scanned, use the Kind pop-up menu.Choose Text for black-and-white images with high contrast, such as text. Choose Black & White for grayscale images. Choose Color for color images.
    To scan both sides of a page, select Duplex.
    To choose a size for the scanned image, use the Size pop-up menu.
    To choose where to save the scanned images, use the Scan To pop-up menu.If you choose a folder, the images are stored in that folder. If you choose an app, the images are opened with that app.
    To adjust the colors or exposure of the scanned image, choose Manual from the Image Correction pop-up menu, and adjust the controls.If you don’t see the image correction controls, scroll down or make the Scanner window taller.
    Click Scan.The scanner scans the pages one by one.

    works ok on mine - (5, 7.1.1).  Try again.  with previews set to none, mine shows the sender and the subject line only.  (you cannot get rid of the subject)    with the other settings, you get the sender, subject line and however many lines you selected.

  • How can I turn off the home screen preview of SMS/text messages on 3GS

    How can I turn off the home screen preview of SMS/text messages on my new Iphone 3GS ?

    Go to Settings>Messages and choose "No" under "Show Preview" which will hide the text part of the SMS/text message but still will pop up on who its from and just says "text message" on it.
    Other than this there is not a complete way to disable the notification.

  • How do I turn off the downloads window?

    How do I turn off the downloads window? I recently upgraded FF, hated the new one, so downgraded back. When I upgraded I got the new downloads ribbon at the bottom of the screen and no longer had the downloads window. However, for whatever reason I decided to turn the window on. But when I downgraded I realized that this interferes with programs that I had previously set up to download directly to a certain program. Bottom line... I do NOT want the downloads window.

    I know you can go to Tools, then Options, and click the Downloads tab and configure how you want it that way. Do you have the Download Manager Tweak as an add on?

  • Can I turn off the monitor for Mac Mini and use it as a music server?

    I am in the process of upgrading my PC most likely to a Mac product. With the non-server version of Mac OS X, can I turn off the monitor connected to a Mac Mini and use it as a streaming server? Or I have to get the server version of OS X to do that?

    I plan to run Logitech Media Server on the Mac to stream music to players. Each player interacts with the Logitech Media Server to select songs to stream. When I turn on a player, it will wake up the computer from the sleep mode.
    Currently, this Logitech Media Server runs on a Windows Vista machine and it will keep the PC from entering sleep mode while playing the songs. After I play the last song, the PC will start the idle count down and then enter into sleep mode.
    Do you see any problem with my intended use of a Mac Mini?

  • How can I turn off the transition effect in Spaces?  - It's making me sick!

    How can I turn off the transition effect in Spaces?
    Can I do this through the terminal somehow?
    I have three monitors and the transition effect is giving me motion sickness.

    Hi,
    I'm afraid there does not appear to be anyway of turning off the sliding transition in spaces. There's no option to turn it off or to change it to another effect.
    I use spaces all the time as I have a 15" MacBook Pro and it's incredibly useful to have a screen dedicated to e-mail and IM and another for Safari and two other screens for applications. There's just not enough screen real estate for all those windows. I think Spaces is one of the most useful user features of Mac OS X.
    Maybe we should send in a feature request to Apple? I used to use some third party software to do the same before Spaces was released and it had a selection of transitions or none at all.
    Personally, I'm now used to the transitions but as I don't have multiple monitors perhaps I'm being spared the motion sickness!
    Good luck.

  • How can i turn off the spam filter?

    How can i turn off the spam filter for HP eprintcenter?

    zanganah;
    I hope you are doing well and sorry to learn that you are having this issue;
    Most of the time when you have issues receiving emails is that the email have something like FWD  subject line. Eliminate that. 
    Does the email have a title? Make sure it does.
    ePrint emails can only have one email address in the “To:” field. To send an email to your printer and to additional email addresses of friends and family at the same time, put your printer's email address in the “To:” field, and put your friends/family email addresses in the “BCC” (blind carbon copy) field.
    Also this are some of the limitations of the service to keep in mind;
    The attachment size or number of attachments exceeded the allowed limit.
    There is a 5 MB limit to the email and a 5MB limit to each attachment. HP ePrint supports a maximum of 10 attachments to a single email. Emails that exceed these limits will not print.
    Is the attached file supported by ePrint? Supported attachments include:
    Microsoft Word
    Microsoft PowerPoint
    Microsoft Excel*
    Text files (.txt)
    PDF
    HTML
    Images (bmp, jpg, png, gif, tiff)
    * HP strongly recommends that you preview documents in Excel before printing.
    Hope this helps:
