leyna1488303852 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I hope I'm posting this in the right forum....There have been a few instances where I've overheard people using voice chat. A couple of times it likely wasn't meant to be private, but on other occasions, I'm confident the parties talking believed no one could hear them. Either because of the way they were talking about the people around them, or how the direction of the conversation was headed in regards to....erm... intimacy. So now when my partner and I are voice chatting, I can't help but wonder if we're being heard. Is it common to overhear people's private conversations?

valerie Inshan Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 If you and your partner click on the"call" button, your conversation remains private even if others are around you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible that they mistakenly believed they were not heard when in fact they were using public chat. Its also possible that they didn't care if they were heard or not. Some people are like that, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Darkheart Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I avoid all "in world" private chat. I figure that's what Skype is for. I just removes all doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince1080 Atlass Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I also thought Skype was safe but just the other day my friend and I had Skype on in world and we were talking when a stranger approached us and said that she thought we were funny in chat. We asked her are you sure its us you can hear and she said yes and even repeated some of the things we said. So skype is not safe either. And yes we checked we didnt even have SL voice on.
