Yahoo Messenger and webcam, possible?

Post by MHenry676 »

I know the webcam is possible with Gentoox, but will it work with Yahoo Messenger? I plan on trying when I can, but would like to know if anyone has got it to work. I'll be using the Logitech Quickcam Express.

If yahoo's messenger has webcam support then most likely yes.

* net-im/ymessenger
Available versions: 1.0.4.1 1.0.4.1-r1
Installed: no
Homepage: http://messenger.yahoo.com/messenger/download/unix.html
Description: Yahoo's instant messenger client

I think thats yahoos official messenger for linux, so you could try
# emerge ymessenger

Hope it works, bye

For other alternatives you can try
# emerge -s yahoo
or
# emerge -S yahoo (takes longer, but searches in the description of packages.)
