Folks, I have posted this question in my blog and have tried Empathy as a workaround still no dice!!!. Any help is appreciated. >>snip The other day , was trying to use the webcam and voice feature of Yahoo in ubtunu. What you know there isn't an official yahoo version with support for these two features. What is more bad is what we can download is a legacy one . Has any one found a alternative one to chat with folks who use the windows version of yahoo with voice and video.... >>snip Thanks, Jobin Thomas http://jobinsblog.blogspot.com/
