Does iChat in Lion have video calls with Yahoo messenger??

Does iChat in Lion have video calls with Yahoo messenger?
so far is supports only AIM and Apple ID for video chat but in Lion iChat supports Yahoo messenger, do they have video calling also or only text chat is offered in this version?

Hi all,
iChat will Video to other iChat users for Jabber (Google, Facebook and others)  and Yahoo Names.
In neither case will it Video to any Web browser access to the service the buddy may be on such as the Google Mail web mail or iGoogle pages access to the chat option.
Nor will it video to any Standalone app (There is one for PC for GoogleTalk) and obviously the Yahoo app on both PCs and Macs.
iChat has not done this since Jabber was added at iChat 3  (OS 10.4/Tiger) some while ago.
The AIM for Mac app has never been able to do Video.
Video chatting to the AIM app for PCs can be fraught but is supposed to work.
It also tends to work to the  Trillian App with the Pro Add-on (which Costs)
The Yahoo for Mac 3 Beta has been in beta for years.  It could be argued that it has never been "Supported"
iChat 6 's behaviour may not be what you want but it is entirely consistent with iChat 3 through 5 with the Jabber options.

  • Can iChat have video chat with Windows Messenger?

    Is there any way to use Jabber or other means to establish a video chat with an MSN Messenger user?
    Alternatively, does anyone know if Virtual PC for Mac supports video chat with windows computers?
    Thanks for the help.

    Hello Peter,
    Is there any way to ... establish a video chat with an MSN Messenger user?
    The best way is still with a Windows XP PC and MSN Messenger.
    For use with your Mac, see the MSN, Yahoo, Win Messengers & iChat? FAQ. Jabber is text only.
    There is a beta application called Mercury Messenger on Mac OS X that is an MSN Server client.
    However, please note that the Mercury Messenger Webcam / Video Conference Support section, which I quote, in part, includes the following:
    Video-conferencing is supported on Mac OS X, however it is receive-only, due to an incomplete JMF library for Mac OS X. The feature is still relatively new, and so some issues may occur in use.
    Although Mercury Messenger (beta) will connect to the MSN Server, those comparing it with iChat AV's capability should certainly study the sections about the limitations and known issues.
    If you get Mercury Messenger on Mac OS X working, please post back and let us know what you think of it.
    ... does anyone know if Virtual PC for Mac supports video chat with windows computers?
    VPC for Mac does not support Firewire video, so it cannot use an iSight for video. Sorry, but I have not seen anyone post a method of using VPC that rivals the performance of using the same application on a Windows PC.
    Also, VPC with the current version of Windows is so expensive that, at least where I live, it is often cheaper to buy a used, and sometimes a new, PC to run your PC software.
    If you really MUST use PC software, I suggest running it on a PC.

  • I have a problem with Yahoo messenger

    Ever since I installed Mountain Lion, I can't get my Yahoo messenger to work. Does anyone else have this problem or experienced the same?

  • HT1349 I can not do video call on yahoo messenger or Skype. I can see them they can't see me

    When I try to do video call in Skype or yahoo messenger people say they can't see me.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT) as you start iTunes, then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • Making calls with Yahoo Messenger App.

    I have the Yahoo Messenger both on my laptop (HP) and my IPad. The thing is I can't make phone calls through the Messenger with my IPad but it works well with the messenger on my PC? On the Ipad I got the following error message: PSTN calls not available.
    What should I do to fix it?

    The Yahoo Messenger app version 2.2.6 worked fine. When I upgraded to 2.2.7, the dialing feature seems to have been removed. I'd have to guess it looks intentional, because they changed the button from a phone icon to a notepad icon. The old button brough up the dial pad. The new one brings up a log of calls. I hope though that they didn't intend to remove this feature and will fix it and put it back in the next release. Is there any comment from the developer? I have searched online and didn't find anything.

  • Video capture with Yahoo Messenger?

    using Yahoo Messenger version 3 beta, is there a way to capture video from the other party?
    thanks!

    There is no application designed that I'm aware of that will allow you to record video from Yahoo. (Like Conference recorder for iChat)
    However, you could use a screen recording application that should accomplish what you are looking for.

  • I can't have a video call with my Gtalk contacts

    Hi, I'm a new user in Mac world. Recently I bought a macbook pro and I have a problem with iChat. My girlfriend have a PC and we talk thru Gtalk video chat when I has a PC. I configure the iChat to have a video call with her but the video call icon is disable so I can't send her the invitation for the video.
    I decided go to gmail.com and have the video call there but when the video call starts she can see me but i can see her, I only see her photo contact and my photo contact.
    Please help me with this problem because is driving me crazy!

    Hi,
    When Google started out doing the Video Chat bit they used the Flash Plug-in but now use their own.
    However that does mean that now and then people find the the Flash and Google Plug-in clash  (More likely for Flash Web Based chats not to work)
    I don't use Safari every day.
    Firefox has a Tools Menu and can list the plug-ins in there.
    I can only see a place in Safari to turn Off All Plug-ins in the Preferences > Security.
    Uploaded with Skitch!
    Check that you have the Flash Plug-in

  • What's wrong with my device?  It does not allow me to make calls with Skype or Viber...  Can someone help?

    What's wrong with my device?  It does not allow me to make calls with Skype or Viber...  Can someone help?

    My device is a Blackberry Z30.  Skype and Viber just to work fine.  I had to travel abroad and turn off data services while traveling outside of the US but the applications worked just fine with Wi-Fi.  Suddenly they stopped working to make calls.  I can still send text messages, but when I try to do a voice or video call (in the case of skype), it only says "failed call" and when I try to call using Viber I get an error message that says the I can not use the application until I complete my GMS call which is ridiculous because I'm not using the phone other than trying to place my call through Viber. The interesting thing is that when I go the permission page in my security settings everything indicates that its on but is gray out and I do not have access to change any setting.  The same in both applications.  The rest of the applications are accessible to change settings.   I already uninstalled skype and reinstalled it and still the same problem.  I'm ready to back up everything and wipe out the device to original settings.

    What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system?     Elements 13 on Windows 7
    What is the brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded these videos?        ony  PMW 320
    When you import them into your Premiere Elements project, what does Premiere Elements Properties for that import give for
    the audio description in the way of number of channels? If you open the Audio Meter (Window Menu/Audio Meters) and you play back
    the video in the Premiere Elements Editor, how many channels does the Audio Meter display?   
      I just drag and drop video and when playing back only channel 1 will appear
    What is your intended export for this video in terms of audio as well as video compression and formats?    MP4
    I think you can only use audio if it's recorded on channel 1 or it does not recognize it.

    If you download Lion from the App Store you can install it on as many computers that you personally own. It can be re-downloaded from every computer running Snow Leopard and logged into the App Store with the same Apple ID used to purchase Lion.
