We want to assure you that your voice has been heard in regards to this new process of word verification to access Yahoo! Chat. At Yahoo!, we're always working to provide you with the best chat room experience available. We take spam and abuse very seriously and ask you to verify that you're not using an automated program to access this site. This step helps prevent this type of use from occurring within our chat rooms and ensures we can provide an environment you and your friends can enjoy!

Once you've selected a Chat room, you'll be brought to the Chat room window where you'll see your Yahoo! ID listed as well as the Messenger Chat Administrator. You won't see anyone else listed in the Chat room until you've passed the verification process. To do this you'll need to enter the verification code given in the Chat room window. Once you have verified the code you will be entered into the Chat room you selected.

Let the chatting begin!
