Hi What’s the mobile device streams encoded codec? Wowza accepts these codec types as inbound streams : Compatible Live Encoding RTMP Video: H.264, VP6, Sorenson Spark®, Screen Shared codec Audio: AAC, AAC-LC, HE-AAC, MP3, Speex, NellyMoser ASAO **RTSP/RTPVideo: H.264** **Audio: AAC, AAC-LC, HE-AAC, MP3, Speex** MPEG-TSVideo: H.264 Audio: AAC, AAC-LC, HE-AAC, MP3 ICY (SHOUTcast/icecast) Audio: AAC, AAC-LC, HE-AAC (aacPlus), MP3 I’m not sure if you can do a Video chat application but if the live application is published in one of the above codec types It could be possible. This will be a lot of work on the android device encoding a audio/video stream and playing a audio/video stream at the same time with chat on top… Jason ---

For streaming from iOS to Wowza there is Livu [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-livu-video-broadcasting-ios-app-with-wowza-media-server](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-livu-video-broadcasting-ios-app-with-wowza-media-server) And I think there is something like that for Android, but have lost track of that at the moment. It won’t help with streaming in either direction, but you can communicate with Wowza from iOS or Android device with HTTPProvider [https://www.wowza.com/docs/http-providers](https://www.wowza.com/docs/http-providers) Richard ---

You can play RTSP streams in Android but Android only supports H.264/AAC using RTSP. Flash can send in H.264, but not AAC. So you would have to transcode using the Wowza Transcoder. Or, you could just open the flash chat in your Android browser. ---

There is not a RPC method built into RTSP or Cupertino streaming as there is with RTMP. You would have to make a custom player for iOS and Android to accomplish this. ---

Hi Yes, you can play a stream on a Apple iOS device, android and web-players when its been transcoded with the Wowza transcoder. Jason
