By using a application present in left pane of Google Chrome a user can hide himself from his contacts by showing invisible in their chat window but their is some simple trick by using which you can find out those invisible contacts. For finding invisible contacts we need a application i.e. Google talk desktop application.

The Gmail chat application available on the left pane of the site allow user to hide himself from his contacts. However ,there is a simple trick to find out a user is in the invisible mode or he/she has logged out from chat. For this you need a application i.e. Google Talk desktop application.
Once you have logged on your account, follow following simple steps to find out which of your contact is in invisible mode :

1. Open the Google Chat application.

2. Search for the user whose visibility mode you want to find out by typing his/her name in search box.

3. Once the specified contact name shows in list select the entry to open chat window.

4. Click the drop-down array present under the close button and select 'Go off the record'.

5. Now type any message to the user and hit enter

6. if you receive a message saying, 'userid@gmail.com is offline and can't receive your message right now' then the user is logged off. (userid is the user name of user)

7. If the above message doesn't appear after you send a message then the user is in invisible mode.

This trick has worked successfully in most cases but result may be different if user is using thirty party application.
