How do I add a windows live account

First of all, what are you trying to do?

Whoops, I think I got it, sorry.

About the Live thing, did you try using msn? Perhaps the protocols are the same.

It sounds like you want to add an *MSN* (that being the protocol) account to Pidgin with a username of <email address hidden> (or some other domain as appropriate).

I tried to use the MSN protocol. It does not work. The domain is @live .com. Thanks for the input though.

Thanks,
Brandon

Perhaps you can use another protocol such as GTalk, change the settings(i.e server and anything else necessary) and then use the @live.com domain to use it for Live, though I am not sure if this will work since I never tried it myself.

"It does not work." doesn't help anyone. You're going to need to describe what error(s) you're getting. The protocol here is MSN and you want <email address hidden> in the screenname box. If you're doing that, then it should work. If it doesn't, does it work using the official MSN client on Windows?

Thanks Richard,
I got it to work by putting @live.com behind my screen name. I wasn't doing that before because on the yahoo account it wouldn't work with the domain name in that field.
Thanks again,
Brandon
