Crossing The Streams

About this presentation

Video and audio have become a fundamental part of the web, but for anything more than basic playback we typically need to invoke 3rd-party plugins, or ditch the browser and 'make an app'. The MediaStream API gives a sane interface for real-time media streaming in the browser, and can be used by most devices with a camera and a browser. This talk gives a running start to using Streams, and some things to be aware of when adding audio or video input. Some thought will be given to future applications of audio and video input, to consider some of the powerful potential possibilities.
