Green Icon by user name

[Ian Hoddy]

Can someone please explain why opposite my user name a green icon appears whenever my email address is used.  This takes the form of a green filled in rectangle with a green solid arrow to the right. It was particularly noticeable recently when my address was included in a list of some 60  names consisting of assorted email addresses(not gmail).  What is its significance and how do I remove this?

Did you check in GMail help?  It's your chat status icon.  That shape is a camera, meaning you have video capabilities.

Hi Ian

This little icon represents a camera and being green means that you
are available for voice/video chat. At some point you installed the
plugin at http://google.com/talk/
One can only remove this by signing out of chat. See also the 'Chat'
section in Gmail settings.
