    YAHOO SPECIFICATION To find out what the requirements are for messenger webcams, check out the following. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/messeng%E2%80%A6 Once you have your webcam working outside of Yahoo Messenger you have to configure it to messenger CONNECTION Open messenger - on top toolbar > messenger > preferences > connection - select 'no proxies' or 'connect direct to the internet' depending on the version of messenger you have make sure your internet connection and country are correct in bottom boxes > apply > ok TESTING > messenger > my webcam - warning panel will come on click 'ok' and your webcam will launch. PERMISSION OPTIONS >messenger > preferences > webcam - make your selections about who you will allow to view you IN USE When you are both on line and wish to show your webcam > actions > 'invite to view my webcam' this will launch an invitation on your contacts screen when they 'accept' - they will see you ( can check status on bottom left of webcam panel there is a shortcut ( cam picture ) in toolbar and one down by your pic as well but these do not always work your contacts needs to configure their connection the same as above or they may get a "webcam not connected" message
