Hello
I have been using Wowza with Flash to record a video stream from the user’s webcam. But Chrome is finally getting serious about killing Flash. Are there any tutorials/examples available of using the HTML5 MediaRecorder and MediaStream Recorder APIs? Not talking about live streaming, I want to record a video/audio stream from user’s computer, save it as file on server, then play it back on demand. Preferably in H264.
Thanks.
John

Hi John,
Wowza currently has the [webRTC](https://www.wowza.com/products/capabilities/webrtc-streaming-software) protocol preview which leverages HTML5 MediaStreamExtension API objects from modern browsers. Do note that this is currently in preview, and you will need to request access in order to use the functionality.
