Hi,

Do you have Wowza installed? Take a look at our example webcam player/encoder, which is accessible in the Wowza installation folder:

```auto
[install-dir]/examples/WebcamRecording/FlashRTMPPlayer/player.html

```

The player is also hosted here:

yes i looked at that and a serrate webcam.swf the problem i have is they seem to stream at a very small size , so if i low up the image to 640 x 380 t is extreemy pixalated, i dont see any easy way to increase the cam quality. im using a Logitech c920 so it can go all the way upto 1080

how about transcoding a WebRTC push? or try googling the javascript implementation of ffmpeg (only for the very brave)
