Chrome VOIP App for Yahoo and Hotmail

[marl30]

Well, it seems like I've finally found a solution to the lack of VOIP support for Yahoo and Hotmail in Linux. Today I had this bright idea to check the Chrome App Store in Chrome browser to see what I could find there. There were a few, but I only installed the one that looked the most promising:https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ocaebkdojpikfmhmnekiflipcicedobi

I haven't gotten around to try making a call just yet, as for some reason all my online contacts are on mobile. I've just been reading the comments posted on the app's page. So far, the only reoccurring complains I saw was about Skype not working properly in this app. That's ok though, as the native Skype is working just great for me.

I hope this will help someone who has been looking for a similar solution.

There might be other VOIP Chrome Apps that others could recommend. Feel free to post your comments below.

That is a site, not an app.

I said it was a Chrome app. It has an install button. It's in their app store.

Whatever they call it, it is a site accesible from any browser.

BTW it can be used for text chat but it is not straightforward for voice.

What are you talking about?

I just used it to call my brother over Yahoo and was able to talk to him loud and clear, and he's using Windows. All you need to do is to go to setting and set mic setting to Linux sound. On Windows, as in my brother's case, it will show your sound card. Obviously they optimized it to work on Google's Chrome OS, so they've added Linux mic support to it.

Thanks man! I've been waiting for this for ages!
