video chat question

guys,

newbie here. has anyone tried using the video chat function via Yahoo Messenger? any reviews? this will be one of the main purpose on why i'm considering of getting one and just want to make sure that it does work. appreciate all the help..thanks.

 

Here is what is happening... You can view the web cam of your chatmate in YM but if you invite them to view your webcam with the Acer Messenger, and they pressed the accept button invitation, what will appear is that the invitation were "declined".

That is my problem now. As of the moment I don't intend to use the YM Software or download it. What I want to do is to use the Acer Messenger. Does anyone got a good shoot that their messenger webcam has successfully worked in a video chat in YM? Help...

 

thanks for the reply! i guess i'll just wait for the XP version. hope you find a fix.

 

i successfully had a video chat from acer messenger to xp yahoo messenger. it declined on the first try but on the 2nd, it worked. no problems at all BUT no voice chat. use skype.

 

hi, could it be YM is not compatible with linux? sorry i'm a complete idiot when it comes to linux.
