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 MTbot@xxxxxx 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 MTbot@xxxxxx.

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 MTbot@xxxxxx

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.
