Assuming you have installed the webcam properly with its drivers.\n\n1. Logon to http://messenger.yahoo.com/\n\n2. Click on the Features link on the top row.\n\n3. Click on the Webcam link which is in the last coloum.\n\n4. Click on the "Visit the Yahoo! Help Center" link on the right hand side.\n\n5. This will bring you to the webcam help section. Under the Getting Started title click on the Test webcam link. The website usually downloads a piece of software from Yahoo to your computer.\n\nThis is what I followed when I was unable to use my webcam on yahoo. I was able to use the cam on all other messengers and not on yahoo. Once this software was downloaded, the webcam works just fine on yahoo now.\n\nPls update your question if any errors are reported.\n\nUjjU

If you don't have it already, get Yahoo messenger. You can usually find people with webcams there. Sorry if is of no use to you.

make sure your cam is unplugged. Put the cd in, install it. after everything's complete, plug in the cam, let it do its thing. if nothing happens, restart the puter

Ah! WELCOME to "Yahoo Doesn't Give a Shi t!" It started about 8 months ago when yahoo started putting more care into their goofy programs and less into day to day upgrades. So yes, like me, everytime you open your yahoo IM account, you'll have to haul your happy as.s into your preferences, then WebCam Settngs and add your usual people to view. Good luck and enjoy. Oh, and incase you're thinking about uninstalling it and then reinstalling it thinking that'll make a difference, it won't.

You havnt said what exactly the problem is so, heres a few suggestions.\nFirstly, make sure your webcam is installed and is working properly.\nIf you go start>control panel>system and click on the hardware tab, open device manager to see if your webcam is listed there correctly. If it isnt, you may need different drivers.\nSecondly, try going through the audio/video setup wizard in msn messenger (its in the tools menu). If it cannot detect a webcam, either the webcam isnt working properly or it isnt installed correctly.\nIf the picture is black, and you use a digital camera as a webcam,the battery is probably flat.\n\nIf everything works, you should just be able to click webcam button on the bottom right of any conversation window (beside your picture)

You need to have some software installed called "Java runtime".  The chat servers on Yahoo! need the Java language to run the screens.  It can be downloaded for free from here:

You need correct drivers,most webcams are USB 2.0 try to find driver CD if you cant find it look on internett for your driver for your specific camera

i get the "joining a chat room took longer than expected" message every time i try to join a chat room too, so i no longer bother with it because yahoo has screwed it up.\n\nso i just go to http://www.yahoochat.com to chat now because messenger is absolute rubbish!

Are you using a dialup connection, then there may be a speed problem.\n\nOtherwise, reinstall drivers.\nTry one web cam at a time.\nRAM memory is too low...

Check your firewall. Usually firewall blocks yahoo chats.\n\nCheers!\n\nShaba

Yahoo switched off their Java chat, so now you have to use Messenger to connect.\n\nhttp://chat.yahoo.com\n\nWith the change, their servers are probably overloaded.  Hopefully, the problems get sorted out soon.

I am asssuming you're using Yahoo Messenger.  On June 1st, Yahoo stopped supporting webcam for users of versions below 7, and since Yahoo hasn't updated it's Mac version of messenger in years, we, as mac users, are once again shunned.  They're trying to make the cam thing go faster, or they just want people with older versions to update so they will get more advertisements.  I have tried to use Jabber to communicate to my Yahoo friends.  I got the text to work, but so far, no video.

try reinstalling you webcam.

Try to unplug your web-cam then re-boot your PC, install your software, then plug in your web-cam. some usb devices needs software installed first and some the other way around.

its not possible because such msgr versions are no longer supported by yahoo. you try changing your msgr settings, it will work. or try removing firewall at your network if there is any.
