Hello All,

The title pretty much asks it all: How would I go about adding chat to FMSS during live webcam broadcasts?

I will be using FMSS to broadcast webcam.

Obviously it is an outgoing stream only as I am told to do cam to cam I need FMIS and at present I do not need cam to cam and I can not afford FMIS.

I want the viewers of the webcam broadcast to have a chat window where they can send comments to the person on the webcam and the person on the webcam can type back if they want to.

I have glazed over some posts here and saw that it can be done in Flash, I want to know if I can do it with FMSS. It does not need to be elaborate. Just as described above.

Let's start here.

Any and all help, suggestions and advice will be greatly appreciated!

Sincerely,

wordman

    You'd really need FMIS for text chat. There's no efficient way to do it with FMSS.

    Jay,

    Bummer. Well...I'll have to see what can be done then. I don't know that I can come up with the extra $3,500...

    Many thanks for your help!
