streaming - Software for sharing a live webcam stream with audio



My friend is getting married in November and has asked me to look into setting a webcam feed with audio for the ceremony. Does anyone have any suggestions of some software they have used which has provided good results. I would prefer to use a branded product (MS or skype) rather than something randomly downloaded.


If you can configure skype to let multiple people view though a Cam that would be great.



Answer



Unfortunately, Skype does not support conference video calls right now - it's only 1 to 1.


In fact, using an IM is probably a bad idea, as your bandwidth needs to support streaming the video to ALL cam attendees - with full data streams for each individual viewer.


What I suggest you to do is to use a video live streaming service, such as UStream, and let your invitees know the video stream URL. that way, your bandwidth is secure.


Better still - get an AV team who knows how to get a reliable video feed online. It's a wedding, it's once in a lifetime, and it's not yours.
