Software for sharing a live webcam stream with audio [closed]

My friend is getting married in November and has asked me to look into setting a webcam feed with audio for the ceremony. Does anyone have any suggestions of some software they have used which has provided good results. I would prefer to use a branded product (MS or skype) rather than something randomly downloaded.

If you can configure skype to let multiple people view though a Cam that would be great.


Solution 1:

Unfortunately, Skype does not support conference video calls right now - it's only 1 to 1.

In fact, using an IM is probably a bad idea, as your bandwidth needs to support streaming the video to ALL cam attendees - with full data streams for each individual viewer.

What I suggest you to do is to use a video live streaming service, such as UStream, and let your invitees know the video stream URL. that way, your bandwidth is secure.

Better still - get an AV team who knows how to get a reliable video feed online. It's a wedding, it's once in a lifetime, and it's not yours.

Solution 2:

Skype doesn't support video conferencing, ooVoo does.

or setup a webcam server so the stream can be viewed in a browser without a client (e.g. SasCam)
