How do I broadcast video from my webcam with Html5?

Question

I am trying to build a simple web page that has access to my webcam and is able to broadcast the video taken from my webcam.

I am new to Html5 and I suppose that it is a complex task to build such a web page from scratch. I just want some experienced Html5 developers to provide me with some starting point, maybe some tutorials in this matter.

Solution 1

Native (not Flash) Webcam and Microphone access in Chrome, demonstrated on YouTube by Paul Kinlan (Google):

Solution 2

Not possible in HTML5 yet. You would need to use some sort of browser plugin like flash.

See this question: What's the status of the HTML 5 <video> tag and webcam integration?

Good to know, though sentence at 24:14... may mean this won't help in the OP's case.
