Help Yahoo! Messenger Video Chat Issue on Wifi...

[KingFatty]

I'm having trouble with video chat using Yahoo messenger on my phone while connected to Wifi. When the other party requests a video chat with me, my phone will "ring" and prompt me to accept the video chat. After I accept, the phone displays a black screen for two seconds, then dumps back into the messenger window as though I never accepted the call. If I try to initiate a video chat with another party, it attempts to contact the other party then after about 2 seconds it dumps back into the messenger window as though I never attempted to chat.

What are the steps to troubleshoot - is there anything more to try besides clearing Yahoo messenger's cache/rebooting/uninstalling/reinstalling?

Mine does that too. As painful as it is, speedwise, I switch back to 3G (4G if available) and the video chat works perfectly. Is the other party sharing the same wifi network? Maybe that is part of the issue. I am not sure. Switching to 3/4G allows the calls to go through for me.
