rtadams89 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 A bunch of my relatives got web cams for Christmas and now ant to be able to sue them to chat with one another. I've tried to instruct them on how to do this using a IM application, but since some use Skype, some use MSN, some user AIM, etc. there is not a convenient way to get them all connected. I have been looking into a website based solution. Basically, I want my family members to go to a web page I host, log in, and be able to view (literally) the other family members who are also logged in. I have found a few Flash based solutions (such as http://www.flashpioneer.com/chat/demo/fpchat2.htm), but they are all expensive. Does anyone know of a free, video chat system I can install on my webspace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfmason Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 You need a streaming media server. Influxis is probably one of the best and cheapest media server hosting companies that I know of. Their $10/month plan should suit all of your needs. If you have your own server you could download the developers version of Flash Media Server or Red5 media server.
