Re: Gaim + libyahoo2 + cannibalized XawTV = yahoo webcam for linux?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



AYTTM (http://ayttm.sourceforge.net), successor of everybuddy instant
messenger, claims to support yahoo webcam via libyahoo2 (as I read in
the CVS changelog, people even tried it). No sound support, they say.
I use ayttm, but never tried that, however. From the menus, webcam usage
doesn't appear very obvious, and documentation is missing... 
Gnomemeeting is good too, fully Netmeeting compatible, has sound, has
fluent H.323 compression streaming, but it's something else; doesn't
work with yahoo webcam.
