I don’t post about Yahoo! Messenger for the Mac very often, so I thought I’d share a few of my favorite features/preferences.
Webcam display image: Use your webcam to take a display image picture. Pose for your shot, hit the “Take Snapshot” button and wait for the counter to get to 1 – then smile! To use this feature, go to the Yahoo! Messenger menu, select “Preferences” and then click the Display Image icon in the toolbar. Click on the “Image” option in the center, then click “Webcam” to take your pic.
Hide display images in your contact list: On some days, it can seem like none of my friends have a display image. There’s only so often I can look at an anonymous grey head.
So if you like to keep things simple, or just don’t like your friend’s display images, you can hide them on your contact list.
Go to the Yahoo! Messenger menu, select “Preferences” and then click the Display Image icon in the toolbar. Then uncheck the “Show display images in my Messenger list” box.
Apple + n keyboard shortcut: This handy trick brings up a contact search box with auto-filtering, making it easy to find a friend in your list and start a new IM.
Let the music play (or not): Under Preferences > Voice & Calls, you’ll find a checkbox that says “Pause iTunes during calls”. This is checked by default so if you’re grooving when a call comes in, your music will automatically pause. But if you like background tunes while you chat, uncheck it.
What’s your favorite tip or trick in Yahoo! Messenger for Mac?
