Adding and Removing Shared Photos

• Dragging and dropping photos when the Share Photos side panel isn’t open (see below)
• Using the Add Photos button
• Copying and pasting photos from the Windows clipboard

Tip: You can’t share photos while conversing with Windows Live™ Messenger contacts; the feature isn’t supported.

Here’s How

1. If you have two (or more) IM conversation windows open and are sharing photos in one window, you can drag and drop a photo from the Share Photos side panel in one IM conversation window to the other one to share with your other contact.

   

   A message informs you that Messenger is waiting for your contact to respond.

2. Click the Start Photo Sharing link.

   

   Tip: If you don’t click the Start Photo Sharing link and your contact accepts the file, Yahoo! Messenger performs a simple file transfer instead of sharing the photo in the Share Photos side panel. See the Sharing Files tutorial for more information about file transfers.

   Your contact has the option to accept or decline your invitation. When your contact clicks Accept, your IM window expands and the Share Photos side panel appears. The same thing happens to your contact’s IM window.
