Stream webcam via. Wowza streaming server

Question

I am trying to make a site where user can stream their webcams via Wowza server. I have no idea from where to start off. I am using PHP.

How to send the webcam stream from client to wowza server. What should I use to send stream from the client, is it possible though HTML 5 video or should I use Adobe flash player Actionscript?

A bit help would be highly appreciated.

Answer 1

Your clients will need to use Flash Live Media Encoder, Wirecast, XSplit, vMix, OBS or some other Encoding software package. HTML5 doesn't, itself, stream using RTMP.

Here's a discussion on this very topic at Wowza Support.

Hope this helps.
