sunnyrio Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 How do I turn off that annoying white dot floating over my head without disabling voice? Even if I'm not currently talking myself, I still want to hear others. But that dot! It's really irritating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellith Blackwood Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Honestly, I haven't noticed it in years so I can say you'll get used to it. Half the time you won't even see it with your surroundings. I do not believe there is a way to turn it off without disabling voice as it is the indicator for it.

It shows for you and for everyone else. The only way to make the dot go away is to turn off voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelindaN Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I haven't seen those dots in world for months, so I'm thinking people generally have voice turned off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have it turned on or off? They only show if YOU have it turned on too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other peoples' viewers would still show the dot over our head when we have Voice enabled 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teagan Tobias Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I looked at the thread thinking, what white dot? I can’t say I have ever seen one and I’m over 12 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whirly Fizzle Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) If you are using Firestorm Viewer. Enable the Advanced menu in the top menu bar of the viewer with CTRL+ALT+D Advanced -> Show debug settings. Type or paste in the debug search bar: FSShowVoiceVisualizer Set FSShowVoiceVisualizer to FALSE. Edited June 28, 2020 by Whirly Fizzle 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried to find a similar thing in the normal viewer but failed. 10 hours ago, Mollymews said: is a thing that Linden might look at if you file a JIRA Request New Feature something like a Debug Setting which turns off our dot on our viewer only.

Nalates Urriah Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 File a Bug Report and the next drop down is Issue Type. Select New Feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyrio Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) I just tried Firestorm and was inundated with many useful extras that should be in the standard viewer, including the annoying white dot now gone! I won't be using the standard rubbish any more. Only thing to customize now is to remove the "report" buttons everywhere. Everything you do in SL you can report people. What is this police state? I don't want to grass people off every 5 minutes. Edited June 29, 2020 by sunnyrio 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalates Urriah Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Firestorm used to be the cutting edge viewer. If you wanted new features 'first,' you used Firestorm. That has changed somewhat. The big new features like EEP come first in the Linden made SL Viewer. Firestorm (FS) still adds new "handy" stuff the users want. Some of those things make it into the Linden Viewer. Features migrate between brands. The Black Dragon Viewer's Poser is planned to be in the Linden Viewer. No ETA. The new EEP feature is being added to FS and we'll likely see it in the next FS release. The Linden Viewer is designed with new users in mind. Seems the goal is to avoid overwhelming new users. I am not sure that is possible. FS compensates for their complexity by providing classes in using theer viewer. Black Dragon (BD) is designed for NiranV's personal use. Niran likes to see a beautifully render world and has added features for that and tweaked parts of the viewer. Unfortunately Niran doesn't like the Linden Viewer user interface. So, it got changed in BD. That makes it difficult for people to switch between Linden, FS, and BD. Then there is Catznip... it has awesome inventory tools. Saying a viewer should have all the features of another brand of viewer is like saying Ford should have all the stuff GM puts in a Chevy. Life doesn't work that way. But, finding FS means you have found SL's most popular viewer. Between 70% and 80% of residents use FS. I am not sure we can class it as the BEST viewer. I am crashing a lot when I use it, which may not be FS's fault. But, I use BD more and more to avoid the crashes. People make viewers to suite their personal preferences.
