N8 How to Disable Video Calling?

I am unlikely ever to use the "Video call" facility on my N8.
How do I stop the option being presented in the contacts screen alongside Message and Voice Call? I could not see how to remove this option.

I said that Android, Blackberry and iPhone do not support video calling on 3G - which is true. I forgot to add that Windows Phone 7 doesn't either. Google say it's a feature they will add, but it's not there now - and a lot of popular Android phones such as the HTC desire don't have front facing cameras. Facetime isn't standard 3G video calling, it's a proprietary tech that only works iPhone to iPhone, and like you said only works over WiFi.
Basically, Symbian is the only smartphone platform that actually supports 3G video calling. Do you hear the users of other platforms crying out in rage for video calling functionality? No.
Interestingly, there doesn't appear to be statistical information about 3g video calling usage out there, however this conversation on linkedin between communications specialists is quite telling:

  • How to disable video caching

    I would need to disable video cahcing in Java. Do you guys think it is possible? How do I do it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Gergely
    P.S. The exact problem see below:
    I am using pcAnywhere which enables me to see my PC (host) in London from a PC in Hungary (remote control)
    Problem:
    When you have remote control over a host that is running a specific Java application, the host screen does not refresh correctly. If you do not run the specific Java application on the host, then the screen is refreshed correctly.
    Hint:
    Some Java applications use video caching to display graphics. This technique renders the video outside of the computer's video driver control. Since pcAnywhere monitors only the host video driver for video activity, any video processes rendered outside of it will not be sent back to the remote. This will effectively prevent the remote user from seeing what is occurring in the Java application.

    Or: http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4221688.html
    It provides some workarounds.

  • How to activate video calling from account page?

    On a new computer Windows 8.1  can sign into my Skype for Desktop Account using skype name and password. Also have same email address as before.  Account page comes up but dont know how to activate Skype so I can video call.  Tried to instal Skype & got as far as Save Skype to File box, clicked on this, then was expecting to see Run Installer but nothing happened. Was previously using Windows XP. Have the original Skype download filed. Plus several more where I have been attempting to resolve this problem. Am all ´skyped up´ but cannot use it !!
    Absolutely desperate have been trying to remedy this for ages. can anyone help please. Thanks Deborah
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Well, if it hasn't successfully installed yet, then you won't be able to uninstall it.  So with that in mind, if you are able to uninstall it then that would explain why you can't install it again.  The program won't let you install it if it's already been installed.  So if you'd like to try again you can uninstall it and reinstall from one of the files you downloaded.
    So, the first step would be to see if it is currently installed.  To do this, right click the Start button in the bottom right corner while in Windows desktop.  You will see a context menu pop up.  From there, choose Control Panel, and within Control Panel choose Uninstall a program.  You will see a list of currently installed programs.
    If you see Skype in the list, uninstall it.  If you don't, then don't worry about it - it's not installed.  Now try to install it again.
    With regard to User Account Control, don't worry about that at all.  It is safe to click Yes, and once you do that should initiate the installation process.  User Account Control (UAC) is a warning that something want approval from a computer administrator, which gives it access to parts of the computer it would not have otherwise.  You probably don't want to give administrator access to programs you do not trust, but Skype is made by Microsoft so there is nothing to worry about.
    Let me know if this helps you, or if you have any more questions.  Good luck!
    P.S. You said the Skype installation file came from your XP computer - that may be a problem in itself.  When you download Skype from the website there is a pretty good chance that it checks the version of your operating system before downloading, meaning that if you downloaded it on a Windows XP computer you may have downloaded a Windows XP version that will not work on Windows 8.1.  So, if you are using a file you downloaded from that computer, just download it again from the new one.  You can use the link I put in the first post.

  • How to disable video display but allow audio?

    Hi,
    I have been trying to disable the video display on Adobe Flash player, but I want the audio / sound to play without any video supporting it (playing) such as youtube and any other video supported by Adobe Flash. Is this even possible? It will be very much appreciated if I can do this.
    Thank you!

    I'm not a hundred percent sure this will work for you since I've never used svideo out on my mac before, but if it works similar to dvi out, then do the following:
    1. Set you tv up as extended desktop rather than mirror. This will allow you to set different resolutions on the internal and external monitors.
    2. When you want to use the TV for front row, drag the Menu bar from the internal monitor to the external monitor in the monitors system pref. This will make your tv the controlling monitor and front row will play on it.
    3. When you finish with front row, drag the menu bar back to the internal monitor.
    Again, this works when I have my dvi cable connected to my tv, I'm not sure if a svideo output is treated the same way, though I would think it should be.

  • How to disable vertical call slider

    Annoying feature of nokia is the slide to answer screen. Usually mobile phones will be kept in pocket in upright position and so when I get a call because of this screen I will either receive the call while taking it out of pocket or cut the call. This is so annoying and makes the phone unusable. The call receive slider should be small horizontal sliderlike in other android phones. I tried solving this problem b installing  various screen locks no use. ...

    There is no way to change the answer sequence,just be more careful taking phone from pocket,i have this model too alonside bigger devices which i would find more problematic to your issue here regarding answering,ie lumia 1320,1520 much more surface area etc etc....
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
    Now using the Lumia 1520
