I would like to use my built-in webcam. How do I get there from here?

It's a rather simple device but, for the life of me, I can't recall ever using it before now.

    Hi Brmick1,

    In order to use your webcam, you first have to set it up on your Yahoo! messenger.

    Here's how to access the "Yahoo! Video and Voice Setup" assistant:

    1.On the "Help" menu, select Set up Video and Voice. The "Yahoo! Video and Voice Setup" window will open.

    2.Go through the three-step process to check your microphone, speakers, and webcam settings. Many laptops have built-in microphones, allowing you to look and speak directly into the computer.

    Note: If you don't have a webcam and just want to make voice calls, you can skip the webcam step.

    3.When you're done checking your equipment settings, click Finish.

    Please read the following Yahoo! article to know about making a video call using your webcam - http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?locale=en_US&y=PROD...

    Hope this information was helpful. :)
