How do I switch to the front camera when using Yahoo messenger?!?

So I wanted to test out the video calling on My Droid Bionic using Yahoo messenger. Everything works fine but I can't figure out how to switch from the back camera to the front camera during he call. It kind of defeats the purpose of video calling if I have to turn my phone around for my hsband to see me because then I can't see who him. My husband is using Yahoo Messenger on a computer. Any suggestions??

Hi diggyboy,

Were you able to get the front facing camera to work when using Yahoo Messenger? As a suggestion, please try installing the Yahoo Messenger plug-in on your device. This plug-in works in conjunction with the Yahoo Messenger application. I am providing you a link to a resource that covers the aspects of this plug-in. There are requirements the other user needs to have for allowing the front facing camera option to work. This ability to use the front facing camera is application driven and not something set on the phone, i.e., like taking a picture or video. I hope this helps.

Some apps havent added support for the front facing camera yet but if Yahoo supports it there is either a button or maybe a option under the menu option, try pressing menu while in app and see if you see a option.... If not try closing app and then switch to front camera in the stock camera and then open Yahoo app, this worked on some phones with other apps.

Thanks. I had already tried both of those but it still didnt give me the option to switch cameras. I may try a different application but I really appreciate it!

Try Tango just as a test app, it works fune on my TB.
