How do I open my webcam on yahoo?

How do broadcast webcam on yahoo using a Mac computer?

• I have been trying for ages to get a webcam to work on Yahoo messenger on my Ibook MAC computer but with no success. I recently purchased a new webcam that stated it was usable with MAC OSX. Still Yahoo does not give me any option to broadcast my webcam. I was using Yahoo 2.5 before and I just downloaded and started to use Yahoo 3.0......still nothing. All outgoing webcam options are grayed out" on any of the yahoo messenger menues. I used to go in the chatrooms on yahoo and be able to view and be viewed on webcam. Now that I switched to an ibook with OSX...I CAN DO NONE OF THAT anymore and there seems to be no workable solutions in sight ( I searched all the yahoo databanks as well as Mac discussion archives). The cam seems to work on AIM but nothing on Yahoo messenger Thankyou in advance for your time consideration :) Additional info: I'm on an ibook G4 (2004), operating system OSX 10.3.9; processor speed - 1.2 Ghz PowerPC; 1.25 GB Ram

• Answer:

  Hi Marc...many Mac users have complained within all the Mac forums including Apple's Discussion forum that Yahoo Messenger chat features are not as compatible like the Windows counterpart for various reasons. The webcam and your iBook are fine rather it's Yahoo Messenger software that is troublesome. Until Yahoo works to rectify this we are all unable to use the full features trouble-free. Apple Discussion forum for Yahoo Messenger webcam broadcasting: http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?search=Go&q=broadcast+webcam+for+yahoo Because you are using a webcam other than the iSight consider downloading maccam 0.8.9: http://macupdate.com/info.php/id/9087 This may or may not help.
