If you want to know why some feature is absent, you'll have to tell us what program you are using, in which you are wondering about its absence.

If you're asking for help doing video chat, on the other hand, then this is a duplicate of https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+question/175888 and discussion should continue there instead.

Can you clarify if you want an *explanation* for *why* this feature is not in some program (and specify *which* program you are asking about), or if this is asking for the same information as in https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+question/175888? Or something else?

If you mean the official Yahoo! Messenger chat client, Yahoo! has not release a version of that for the GNU/Linux platform in many years, so the version that does exist predates the addition of video chatting capability to the Yahoo! Messenger protocol.

I am not sure if there are any free open source software chat clients that support video chat with the Yahoo! Messenger protocol. If no one else posts an answer at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+question/175888 before I get around to doing so, I'll look into that and post about that there.
