Yahoo Messenger is Yahoo's instant-messaging client and chat protocol. Yahoo Messenger users can chat with one another via text, voice, or video chat. Yahoo has also built-in VoIP services to let users call regular old telephones without having to leave the application. Users can also download and install a number of plug-ins that add extra functionality and features.

The latest version of Yahoo's Messenger desktop software lets users share files up to 2GB in size and includes "stealth" settings that let you choose who's allowed to see you when you sign in online.

Yahoo recently launched a Web-based version of Messenger that runs right in your Web browser. The Web version doesn't give you access to all the bells and whistles of the desktop app, such as access to the plug-ins and integrated voice chat, but it handles the basics well enough.
