Hi folks...

I have this video chat(video, text and audio) program written in actionscript and using FMS as the media server, that I would like to test out with diff comps. I don't have enough webcams to go around and also not all have a built-in webcam. Is there anyway I can use some software to record the screen activity as a video and than stream it over? I am aware that there are softwares that can record the screen activity, but how do I stream it over after that, while still in my video chat applicaton? Hope someone can advise. Thanks.

You can use screen capture drivers - one of them being http://www.splitmedialabs.com/vh-video-sdk/vh-screen-capture. When you have it installed on your client machine, it will act as one of camera source , you can check this out by clicking Settings dialog box of Flash Player (right clicking on swf file), then click on Camera Icon and you should see you Screen Capture Driver listed there.

Hi...

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. I tried, it works, but how do I control what it displays? At the moment it shows a particular icon on the taskbar, when I move my mouse over the particular icon, I can see that being captured too. What I really want to do is to capture a video that is playing in lets say windows media player on the desktop. How do I configure/set the splitmedia screen capture driver to do that, or is there any other software that can do that ?

If find that webcam max does a good job of this, and is easy to use.
