windows store app streaming webcam

Question

hi all !

i want to make a simple windows store application where i can stream video coming from my webcam (and from a local video file)

my question is how to capture video through a webcam and seed it over the nework (localhost for exemple) , and how to connect and watch the streaming video

(i've seen the Real-time communication sample but i still stuck )

Answer 1

Hi Blqck,

I think the sample you are referring is this one: https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Simple-Communication-Sample-eac73290

Which part you get stuck? You don't know how to run the sample or you cannot understand some parts of the code?

I would not recommend you to run the app over localhost, let's say one of the app is act like server and another is act as a client, we cannot run two store app at the same time on one device.
