How to find an invisible friend in GMAIL Chat(Gtalk)

Here are steps:

1.Set the chat as off the recordwith target user. This can be done by clicking on the inverted triangle button in chat window as follow.

2. Now try sending chat to that user when he is invisible or offline.

3. If he is invisible, then he will receive chat.

4. But if he Is offline, then you will receive error “ did not receive your chat”.

Explanation:

Point 1: When a chat is set off the record, it will no longer get stored in your Gmail account.

Point 2: When you send a chat message to offline or invisible user, it gets delivered by default. At receiving end if user is online, a chat screen pops up showing him your message. If he is offline, your chat message will go to inbox as a mail.

Now if you put together above points then you will notice that, when you set chat off the record it can’t be delivered to inbox as mail, so it will be delivered only if user is online (no matter if he is invisible).

Now the only tricky part is finding a user online for once to set chat off the records
