Is it possible to use Chrome to capture video (webcam) and audio (microphone) from the browser and then save the stream as video file?

I would like to use this to create a video/photobooth-like application that allows users to record a simple (30 second) message (both video and audio) to files that can later be watched.

I have read the documentation but I have not (yet) seen any examples on how to capture both audio & video, also I did not find a way yet to store the results in a video file.

Who can help?

Hello,

I would look into Wowza Streaming Engine WebRTC Preview. You can capture video/audio in Chrome, and record the stream as a video file.

Please take a look at this page for more details. [https://www.wowza.com/products/capabilities/webrtc-streaming-software](https://www.wowza.com/products/capabilities/webrtc-streaming-software)

and select “Request WebRTC Access” to get access to test out.
