Q: Can I use Yahoo Instant Messenger with OS X Yosemite?

I used to be able to use Yahoo Messenger - no longer able now with OS X Yosemite.  Is there a way I can do this?  A workaround of sorts?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

    Hi,

     

    The Yahoo Messenger app does not work in Yosemite or above.

     

    The Messages app can have the ID added to it but it will only Text chat (not even file sending).
