Did a little more research and empathy accesses Yahoo messenger through
telepathy-haze, which is a front-end for libpurple from the pidgin
messenger project. The lack of video support through that is a known
point of discussion with the developers, so I am going to recommend this
bug be set to wish list. Thanks again for your bug report, if you find
you are having problems with video chat in GTalk I would open a new bug
on that, as video chat should work for Google Talk (XMPP).

  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: empathy

I right click on my Yahoo contact in Empathy and when the drop down menu appears, the only option that I can actually click on is "chat". Everything else is greyed out so that you cannot chose them.
