Yahoo! Messenger for Android gets video chat, Mail gets multiple accounts

Yahoo! Messenger now officially supports video chat. Though the app initially appeared on the Android Market last week, Yahoo has waited until now to make it official after a recent update addressed some concerns and optimized performance.
The Yahoo! Messenger Video Add-on app enables video chat on a myTouch 4G and HTC EVO 4G, which are currently the only apps officially supported. You can try your luck with other 2.2 phones with front-facing camera, but problems may arise. Messenger places free video calls over 3G, 4G, or WiFi, and works with the equivalent apps for iPhone and PC/Mac. I tested briefly earlier today and there are some problems to work out, but it’s become less laggy since I tested the leaked beta app.
Also getting an update today is Yahoo Mail. The latest version supports viewing sent/received photos in a gallery and people with multiple email accounts from Yahoo can access them all within one app. Throw in the photo/video sharing and integrated contacts support from the Messenger app and Yahoo Android fans have a busy day.

I love the multiple accounts feature, now I can easily be notified when I get an email in either of my accounts.
I am dying to try this tonight. I'm new with my evo so I was hoping for a little help. Do I download these through the Android market on my evo? And what about the leaked beta app? Is that safe to download to my evo? WHat im looking for is being able to video chat through this yahoo messenger from my EVO phone to a PC, is that what this will do?
Would you suggest the leaked beta app (through xda) over the official one?
I’ve downloaded the new messenger to both pc and evo. the video works well, but the audio is nothing but chirping noise is being heard on both ends. does any one have any ideas? we are going on a trip in January and want to video with my little ones.
I suppose the write means a user-facing camera as the front-facing one would normlly be the hi-res camera used for taking quality pictures. The user-facing one is obviously back towards the user of the phone.
its using main camera of divice instead of front cam……
