    Streaming From A Desktop

    thanser Community Member

      I've been searching for an answer online, but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

       

      I have Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2 installed and running, using a USB web cam as a source. 

       

      Simply put, is it possible to stream from a local desktop machine? Every tutorial refers to downloading an XML config file, allowing you to stream to a service such as justin.tv.  But that's now what I want to do! 

       

      In the past I used a Microsoft utility to stream video and audio from my desktop.  Does Flash Media Live Encoder allow you to do this?  Do I need to run a web server like IIS?  And why can't I find a version of Flash Media Server to download? 

       

      I can create an HTML page with the code to display the video stream, using this utility:

      But I'm still missing how to setup and configure a server, of some sort.

       

      Thank you.
