  • 772

I just need a simple voice chat via yahoo. I tried Empathy, Kopete, Pidgin and read several forums, but none helped.

Can anyone give me a hint how can I make a simple audio call via yahoo in Ubuntu 11.04? Thanks :)

  1. Try the guide at http://www.technixupdate.com/download-yahoo-messenger-for-ubuntu-linux-with-webcam-voice-chat-photo-sharing-support/ for getting yahoo messenger on linux with voice chat, webcam support, etc. It has screenshots and clear instructions, and I hope it works for you.

  2. There are actually many like: pidgin and empathy and can be easily installed using apt-get/ubuntu software center. Pidgin also supports video chatting for yahoo.

    These work very nicely. Instead of looking for alternatives it is better to sort the problem with these by exactly knowing what issues are being faced.
