UnInvite 3rd party from conversation e.g. MTbot@hotmail.com

I have discovered the language translation widget TBot which you can
invite into your Windows Live Messenger conversations with another
person.

(First you must add to your list of contacts and
select a language pair)

This is really slick and helps me a lot since I am learning Spanish
and talk to non English speakers interactively with TBot's help.

However, carrying on a three way conversation seems to place limits on
MS Windows Live Messenger.

For example I can not use my webcam when Tbot has joined the
conversation.

Also I am pretty sure I can not drag photographs into the conversation
when Tbot is active.

I assume these are limitations brought on by inviting any 3rd person
into a two way conversation and not peculiar to .

I any case, because of these limitations I would like the ability to
uninvite Tbot during the conversation so that I can share a photo or
access my webcam.

There does not seem to be a way to kick Tbot out after you have
invited him in.

It seems the only solution is to terminate the conversation and start
a new two way conversation with the other person you are talking to.

Does anyone know how to univte a 3rd party in a conversation? I guess
with a real person you could ask them to hang up.

Is there anyplace to get support on

Greetings,

Yes a lot of features are disabled once you go beyond the standard one-to-one conversation,
including when you invite a bot in.

There's no way to evict someone (even a bot) when they've been added and TBot doesn't have an
exit command that I've ever figured out.

I think it's just easier to open a new conversation window.
