Working With Voice Messaging & Call History

You can listen to voice messages at your convenience. Messenger doesn’t remove them until you decide to delete them.

Here’s How

1. To access your voice messages, click the voice message button near the top of the Contact Search bar.

   

   The Voice Messages & Call History window opens, with the Voice Messages option selected on the left and the most recent voice message selected on the right.

   Tips:
   
   Messages that you haven’t listened to appear in bold in the messages list.
   
     If you have Yahoo! Phone In, the Voice Messages window displays messages from friends who have called your computer using their regular phones or mobile phones and includes the phone number from which the call was made.
   
   

2. Click the Play button to listen to the selected message.

   

   Tip: When you select a row containing the voice message icon, Messenger automatically begins playing the message.

3. While a message is playing, you can manipulate the recording in several ways:

   		Click the Pause button to pause the message. Click the Play button again to resume after pausing.
   		Click the Skip Backward button to go to an earlier part of the message.
   		Click the Skip Forward button to go to a later part of the message.
   		Drag the slider to locate a particular portion of the message.
   		Click the Volume button to adjust the volume.

4. If you have more than one voice message, you can select and listen to each one in turn. The message starts playing as soon as you select it.
