How stream video from webcam to IIS Media Services

I need stream video from my webcam to ISS Media Services like it does Microsoft Expression Studio.

Thanks.

Solution

  • You can push the video stream from Expression Encoder to IIS Media Services as described in Getting Started with IIS Live Smooth Streaming. The webcam needs to be selected as a Live Source Video Device.

    Note that Live Smooth Streaming is available only in Microsoft Expression Encoder Pro.

    Edit:

    You can replace Expression Encoder with a custom application built using Expression Encoder SDK. For example, see LiveSmoothStreaming sample from the SDK. For documentation, see Expression Encoder SDK in MSDN.
