Can I do video communication with silverlight 4.0?
- by tom greene
With silverlight 4.0, it is possible to show a live video of the user on the screen:
Here is the code
VideoBrush videoBrush = new VideoBrush();
CaptureSource captureSource = new CaptureSource
{
VideoCaptureDevice =
CaptureDeviceConfiguration.GetAvailableVideoCaptureDevices().First()
};
bool b = CaptureDeviceConfiguration.RequestDeviceAccess();
videoBrush.SetSource(captureSource);
captureSource.Start();
myrect.Fill = videoBrush;
However, I am looking at a way to show the video to someone else - seeing oneself on screen is not that interesting.
Is it possible?
Do I need my own server? Can I use clowd services to do the communication?
Are there performance issues?
