Do you want to record something then email it or chat to them live(one to one)?
If live, then something like msn messenger on both pc's will work and is quite easy to set up.
If recorded, then you will need a video editing software and i have no idea what is about these days.

I don't know about yahoo. Both of you need to be on it and if it's anything like msn then there should be a setting in the menu to allow web cams.
Sorry i couldn't be more help.

Jim, both yahoo and msn can communicate with each other now.  Make sure webcam is plugged into puter and installed properly.  If you look at the top of your messenger box above where your friends are listed and select the tab 'messenger', about halfway down is the option 'My Webcam' click on that, ok the rules and regs bit then select your internet connection, usually broadband and click OK.  After that yahoo should try and find your webcam and ask if u want to start broadcasting.  Hope that helps.  ;D
