You can use your avatars in any of the following places on Yahoo!:

You can decide which avatar you want to use by selecting it from the Yahoo! Avatars homepage.

You can choose if an avatar, a photo, or a blank image appears in the IM window when you’re chatting in Yahoo! Messenger.

If you create multiple avatars, you can change avatars to represent your mood the same way you use emoticons in Yahoo! Messenger.

Do you rate and write views for Yahoo! Movies? If so, you can add your avatar to your Yahoo! Movies profile, and it will appear with your reviews.

You can even use your avatar as a team logo on Yahoo! Fantasy Sports.

Note: You cannot disable an avatar for a specific application.
You can choose not to display an avatar in your profile settings. If you choose to display an avatar, the selected avatar is displayed for all profiles associated with your Yahoo! ID everywhere avatars are used on Yahoo!.
