Can you use a picture instead of an avatar in the yahoo chat?

Can you use a picture for your Yahoo Messenger avatar, or must you use the one you create on the site itself?

  • I'm not that much of a fan of the avatars they make us use. I know you can change your profile picture to anything you want, but can you do the same with the avatar on Messenger too?

  • Answer:

    Yes, you can. Click "My Activity" at top of page Select "Edit My Preferences" Click "Update photo or avatar" Follow instructions to select your photo/avatar <================= Click "Submit" on bottom of original page when done Make sure your Pulse profile is not hidden. :o)

For a custom avatar, including pictures or others start here: http://profile.yahoo.com - Download a JPG, GIF or PNG image(s) and save to your computer (by right-clicking and Save as ... with a name) - Select the image you want to use, using Browse for files ... and open (save) it. Yahoo has set restrictions on the size of files allowed: square and under 10 MB. Be certain any photo is brightly lit, and a close-up. For Messenger: click in order ...your current avatar or name, ‘Share my Picture’, click the suggested pictures box, Browse, highlight and open the file, then OK.
