Yahoo uses some kind of java applet to run and view a webcam. If that applet could start the camera what could prevent it from functioning as a webcam? Maybe not enough horse power, or maybe its the non-java incorporated 6700.
You want CoolCamera which allows you to use the 6700 as a webcam (connected to a desktop/laptop, not mobile).

Presently there is not enough upload capability for doing video upstream. Wait for EvDO RevA late 2006/2007 and you'll need a new PPC for that.
