Hey there, Eric here from Sqwiggle. Thanks for the detailed comment! Seems like you may have encountered a bug with busy mode. If you have it enabled, no one should be able to initiate a conversation with you. They can, however, "ping" you, which will allow you to choose to accept the connection. But it's possible I mis-understood what the exact issue was, if so, feel free to clarify :) We definitely resonate with the general privacy concerns and are working on a mode which will allow you to turn the camera off, which we'll have completed very soon. If you end up giving it another try, please let me know if you run into any issues or have any further feedback. Thanks! |

I meant to drop you guys a message a while back, but just never found a moment to do it.
There was a redesign a few months ago, notably this was when the camera became inactive if you were alone in the chat room. The issue with the busy state is, prior to this software release/version the busy flag was never removed unless you removed it or initiated a chat (after you accept the ping).
After the redesign, the busy flag was removed when any of the following conditions occurred:
1. You manually removed the busy flag.
2. A video chat is initiated (you are pinged and accept the call)
3. You became the only person in a chat room.
As I mentioned, it's been about 2 months since I last used Sqwiggle, so I'm not sure if the above is still true.
