Yahoo! Messenger for Mac 3.0 Beta 2



After months of waiting Yahoo! Messenger for Mac 3.0 Beta 2 is now available for download. New in this version of the beta are:
  • Tabbed conversations, as pictured above
  • Access to Yahoo! Chat rooms
  • More emoticons (to combat those times when there isn't an emoticon available to express how you're feeling)
  • Better Webcam and file transfer performance
  • Message archiving
Yahoo! Messenger for Mac 3.0 Beta 2 requires OS X 10.4, but it is free. I had the pleasure of meeting with the Yahoo! Messenger team a few times, and I know they are Mac users and are very receptive to user input. If there is anything you want to see in Messenger sound off in the comments.

The new yahoo messenger for mac os x is definately a step in the right direction, however its still basic compared to the windows version. I like the fact that the chat rooms now exist, but i still can't tell if my friends are in chat or not, with the lack of the members list in the rooms, but over all, it is very attractive. The features still need to be addressed, and visibility of chat room members needs to be included.

Hi, already upgraded to Version 3 Beta 2 because I can't find in MAC the voice messenger feature which u can find in the windows version. If the Yahoo Team are MAC users also why is it that they cannot include all the nice features in Windows to MAC. There is still no voice messaging in the newest version. I hope they can do something about this because MAC is much more better than windows to use.

A Stone Age question, I realize, but: what ever happened to messenger's cool top 5 web sites feature under the news tab, I think it was? Am I missing something, and it's still there but buried?

It'd be nice if Yahoo would give a mac beta with some photo sharing options like the pc version. I really miss this feature. I hate having to use the file transfer feature. It would be a lot easier if I could photo share by adding photos to the pane on the right where you can select and view all the shared photos like the pc version offered. Come on yahoo!

Like it, really do. Still a few things missing though. Voice chat would definitely be nice. But does anyone else have this problem? My display image won't appear on Windows... people say they can only see... black :( it was the same in beta 1 and I was hoping they could do something about it.

I'd really like to be able to see who else is in the chat room with me rather than having to wait for someone to IM me. Definitely, add "View Members in the Room" functionality to chat rooms.
