If you have a webcam you can disable the image device in device manager, I don't think you can disable webcam use in Skype.

Good old duck tape can disable any camera. No need to be a computer geek.

I would be more ornery and rig a photo in front of it--Something naughty that can't be described here.

For chat! You don't need a webcam if you don't want.
No phone matches the ease of use of a real keyboard of a real computer when it comes to chat

That's if you know how to type. I still use the 'eagle find me a letter' method. A lot harder to chat then.

I would like to use Skype for Doctors appointments. You could see doctors in other states or countries. Since there is a hopsital in almost every county seat in the U.S. you could travel to the local hospital, the nurse does the normal stuff. Then the doctor will Skype you in a few moments. My cardiologist I really like is switching hospitals, don't know if I will like the new one.

I use the scriptural method of typing: seek and ye shall find.

Gosh, I guess I'm really "disconnected" these days. I still have a flip-phone.

LMBO, me too. I "love" my upgraded dumb phone, free from Verizon.

Yea if nothing else Microsoft changes the name so it may not be so obvious
Bing desktop search changed to windows search...
Really very weird stuff to promote numbers.

And no keyboard can match the ease of use when I'm chatting on the phone. And I can talk a lot faster than I can type.

Sure! And no computer matches real life human interaction
But I was talking about real keyboard vs on-screen phone keyboard.
