Video call option in yahoo messenger

Yahoo Messenger has long been a popular instant messaging program, allowing users to chat by sending text messages to one another.

If you have a webcam, microphone and speakers installed on your computer, you can also use the video calling feature, allowing you to see employees, clients or stakeholders in meetings, conferences or seminars. Visual contact can considerably enhance a meeting in which individuals are located remotely. Click the person's name who you want to chat with from your Contacts list.

Click the "Video Call" button on the Messenger window. Wait for your friend to connect. Adjust the size of the video window or move it by dragging it to the size and position you choose.

Share files and use other Yahoo Messenger features just as you would in a text chat window.
