Developing live video applications
Adobe Flash Media Server clients can capture live audio and video from a microphone or camera and share the live content with other clients. This feature allows you to capture live events in real time and stream them to a large audience or create live audio and video conferences. You can use Flash Media Encoder to capture and stream live video to Flash Media Server. However, because Flash Media Encoder is only supported on Windows, you may want to create your own client that captures and streams live video.
Note: The majority of this chapter is only applicable to Flash Media Interactive Server and Flash Media Development Server, as Flash Media Streaming Server does not provide server-side programming.
