Record via WebCam from Webpage

[khunjack]

Dear All,
I need a piece of software (flash?) which I can use to capture a users webcam direct from my webpage.

I highly appreciate any hints/ pointer where to look for it.

Thanks a lot in advance...!

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, khunjack!

Do you want to capture a webcam feed and show it on your webpage?

[khunjack]

Thanks for the reply...

I need the possibility that people from their home PC can record a short (30 sec) intoduction video about themself which will be stored on the webpage for others to view.....

Appreciate all hints...big time
Jack..

What about uploading it as a file to the server? Then you use an unique ID to store and retrieve and view it.

Actually, the perfect solution would be - having a record button on the webpage .. users presses it and it records a the video using whatever webcam, op system has.

I was hoping something in flash must be out there, but can't find anything.

Flash player 6 or 7 can retrieve data from a locally connected camera and/or microphone but the users permision is needed. Details can be found under the privacy settings, and like most things in flash its callable via actionscript.

For the microphone its along the lines of

var myMic:Microphone = Microphone.get();
this.attachAudio(myMic);
