The OTHER users webcam displays and does not crash when viewed on my iMac. This happens with all users and not just one. Yahoo Messenger version 2.5.3 runs fine with a webcam but with the new Version 3.0 beta 1 (build 18274), the OTHER user in a chat/vieo chat session suffers from my webcam blacking out after a short time after being connected. I have a fairly slow internet connection usually connecting at 33,600kbps.

#NEW YAHOO MESSENGER FOR MAC 2012 MAC OS X#

I am running Mac OS X 10.4.8 on a 20″ G5 iMac. I sent the following to yahoo messenger customer support and would be interested to know if others have had this problem with my webcam video blacking out on the other chat users computer.:

#NEW YAHOO MESSENGER FOR MAC 2012 FOR MAC#

Hi downloaded ym for mac os.how do i do stealth settings? im really not an expert on computers so please bare with my explanations: i highlighted the name of the person i want to appear online only.normaly in other laptop u just press right click.however with macbook, no right click at all… please help me thank you Yeah it’s just dandy-fab looking… so where are the **basic features** e.g. Given the wait, you’d think they would have time for at least feature parity. I’m glad they upgraded the YIM client for Mac, but there’s nothing really exciting about it. Who wants to let someone watch them, without talking or seeing the other party/ies. Sorry to say, but while the webcam supports iSight, all it does is broadcast a video feed (not even audio it appears…), which the last version did as well and is a pretty useless function. If you send a file bigger than that, it will often appear to “send” (and the data goes somewhere…) but the person on the other end won’t even see a request, much less actually get the file. Regarding the file transfer issue – how big was the PDF? I’m not sure if it’s still the case, but last time I looked, YIM has ridiculously strict limits on file transfers (3MB?).

It’s time they get serious about the mac community and provide some real powerhouse features (which are already available on the PC client) like Launch cast support, VOIP calls, Audibles, Instant Photo sharing and IMVironments. Overall, this effort by Yahoo is totally lackluster. Pity I don’t have iSight to test it out 😉 The contact didn’t even get a notification of an incoming file or anything. I tried transferring some PDFs to another contact on Y! IM. Thats a feature? How else will a user know when there’s a new message with multiple finder and app windows open? Now you can selectively hide your visible status from buddies. I can hardly wait for this one! Pleeeeease release the next beta soooon! IM with friends who use windows live (MSN) Messenger: It’s a pity this feature is 2 years late.

– Support for Avatars, display images and sounds:įinally the mac user can view avatars of his buddies and set display images. p.s… Am I the only one who thinks the PC messenger looks cooler? It’s not very often a mac user is stuck with an inferior interface! You’re stuck with what they’ve dished out.

Also, there is no way to customize the skin or theme. Although there is a lot of the ichat, itunes kinda feeling, the interface could still do with a lot of improvement.

So now the IM client actually ‘looks and feels’ like a mac OSX version. Here are the main ‘features’ which Yahoo are touting on the download page……. It’s Version 3.0 Beta 1 (that means more betas to come……. I downloaded the latest release of Yahoo Messenger for the Mac from here. That’s why I was curious (more than anything else) to check out the new release of Y! IM and see what exactly they worked on for so long. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why a large chunk of the mac community subsequently got bitten by the Adium bug.

MSN gave up on its mac messenger project long back and Yahoo delayed a new release for years. Their interfaces were bad and the apps lacked solid features. When I first switched to macs, I quickly realized that the MSN and Yahoo IM clients were substandard on the mac platform and paled in comparison to their PC cousins.
