Update: I got the video working when calling a Yahoo! messenger 10 running on Windows, but not when calling a Yahoo! messenger 3 running on Os X. So it is probibly an issue with the Messenger for Mac.

I tried it, but could not choose the camera icon in the app to start a videocall. The icon is there, but greyed out. The problem is not the on the reciving part either, since it works from desktop to desktop. Anyone else made it?

I guess you have to use a mirrow with a 3GS since it does not have a front facing camera.
