Troubleshooting yahoo messenger web cam

I've tried to get my web cam to work in Yahoo Messenger, but I can't seem to make it work. My guest is invited to see my webcam, but when she accepts, the web cam disappears. What am I doing wrong?

Howdy! from what I hear, Yahoo! stopped all java based chat at the start of June. In turn it broke all Mac Yahoo video chat. Yeah it's very crappy but I don't think theres much you can do till Yahoo update their mac messenger. Which lets be honest isn't something that'll happen soon judging by their track record.
Sorry, I'm in the same boat.

  • Safari 2.0.4 and Yahoo Messenger Web Interface

    I have been trying Yahoo's messenger web interface, which allows you to use your browswer instead of downloading the actual yahoo messenger. Whenever I goto sign out, safari crashes.
    I have all latest updates, the latest flash player, etc.
    Anyone have any experience with this new Yahoo Messenger Brower Interface and Safari?

  • Web Cam does not work for yahoo messenger

    Hi,
    I down loaded a s/w MacCleanse, it kinda deleted a lot of files from my mac book air after which the web cam stopped working on yahoo messenger. I checked Ichat the cam works perfectly but does'nt with messenger. Does any one have a clue on how to fix this..

    from my experience, attempting to use two programs that allow the use of the camera will render it unusable on the second program attempting to use it. So, if you started iChat first, then forgot to quit the program, and are now trying to use Yahoo Messenger, then you must quit iChat first and it should work.
    Not unless your cam is really broken?

  • Can't get web cam to work with Yahoo messenger

    I can't get my web cam to work with my Yahoo messenger but it opens up with the Cam assistant thats all it will do.
    Can someone help me with this problem and get it working with Yahoo messenger?

    Hello
    Before you start MSN disable Camera Assistant Software. When MSN starts try please to check cam functionality under Audio and Video Setup. On step 3 you will have Webcam Setup.
    Please select there Chicony USB 2.0 Camera.
    The camera should start and in test window you should have picture.
    Can you use it now?

  • Yahoo Messenger  Contact web cam too small

    **** all,
    I got Yahoo Messenger working thanks to the help I received here. Now my next question is: The contact's web cam (what I see) is very small and I don't see a way to enlarge it. Does anyone know how to maximize this view? Is this an Apple issue? My contact can maximize my view on their PC.
    Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Sorry, I don't know how to add points

    I found http://gyachi.sourceforge.net/ and I attempting to compile, however, I receive the error:
    checking for GTKHTML... configure: error: Package requirements (libgtkhtml-2.0 >= 2.0) were not met:
    No package 'libgtkhtml-2.0' found
    Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
    installed software in a non-standard prefix.
    Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GTKHTML_CFLAGS
    and GTKHTML_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
    See the pkg-config man page for more details.
    I have libgtkhtml-2.6.3-2 and it seems to be located in /opt/gnome/include/gtkhtml-2.0/libgtkhtml .  Does anyone have any suggestions on getting this to compile or how to edit the PKG_CONFIG_PATH ?  I attempted GTKHTML_LIBS=/opt/gnome/include/gtkhtml-2.0/libgtkhtml  but I still receive the same error.
    Thank you.

  • HT1941 why i cannot use my web cam using yahoo messenger and face time?

    whi i cannot use my web cam using yahoo messenger and face time?

    PwmBoat,
    This made me smile, because things like this do make me smile...  I never make videos on YouCam, but I did this time, so I could test this one out.
    You did not say what webcam software you are using...
    ======================================================================
     Video and audio recording works on YouCam V3.5.1.4606
    Make sure you have turned on a working microphone in Settings:
    YouCam > Right-Side   Settings >
    Right-Side, Lower-Right, Select a working Microphone from the Drop down list
    AND
    CHECK "Capture with audio"
    OK
    You can also buy (for $38 US) YouCam 5.0 from the Cyberlink.com website and it has audio/video and all sorts of other goodies, too.  (They have 3.x as well, but why buy what HP already gives you?)
    ==========================================================================
    I hope this helps!

  • Yahoo messenger 3 beta with web cam support

    http://messenger.yahoo.com/
    Tony

    Ever since I downloaded Yahoo Messenger 3.0, I have not been able to view other user's webcams.
    II am using a USB cam.
    PC users are able to view my webcam no problem, but I can't seem to view theirs. When they send me a cam invite, I never receive the invite. If I click on the "View My Webcam" under their names on the buddylist, nothing happens.
    There doesn't seem to be an option in the menu anymore to view their cam either.
    How in the heck do I open their cams?

    Adobe is working on a versin that will not require any download at all to watch flash content.

  • Yahoo Msger with Web-cam view support

    Does anyone know of any other client besides Gyach Enhanced that allows web-cam viewing using Yahoo Messenger?  I am unable to compile Gyach Enhanced and I have not found another client that supports this.  If you have been able to compile Gyach Enhanced on Arch could you please provide me the details?  Any help will be appreciated.

    If you are having an issue with the app downloaded form the App Store, check out the general troubleshooting article below to resolve the issue. If the camera is not working in that app, check other apps to see if the camera is working besides in that app.

  • Using Web camera with Yahoo

    My granddaughter and her children wants us to get on line with our WEB cameras so that we can talk. She uses Yahoo and sent me an invite to join her group, which I did. Last night we went on line and I could access her on camera, but she could not access me.
    After reading everything, and looking at the FAQ it appears that I must take steps to set up a web camera program. I would like to use the in line sight camera that is part of this computer, also a part of the lap top. I have not been able to find the instructions on how to make the camera active for web chatting with the Yahoo program.
    Can any one help me out???

    Hello Fred,
    Judging by the Yahoo! Messenger for Mac page, it doesn't appear that you can talk and use the video at the same time:
    http://messenger.yahoo.com/features/webcam/
    "A webcam (web camera) allows you to share live video images of yourself (or things near you) while you are instant messaging with a friend..."
    Instant messaging being the same thing as text typing to each other. If you want to have a true video chat with your granddaughter, you would both be best off using [Skype|www.skype.com].
