can we use webcam?

[vishak]

Can we use web cam and micro phone in videoLAN so that i can telecast a live video from one room to another. if possible, would you tell me how it can be possible?

I'd rather advise using a video-conferencing software like gnomemeeting or netmeeting, etc...

dear sir,

First of all, thank you for your suggestion.

now we are going through a project. the topic is a "virtual classroom" ,in which the "teacher's" image (captured through webcam ) is sent to other machines.

when i heard about video lan , we were seeking whether we can implement the same idea in our project. that is why we posted such a question.

We are doing project in linux and use C language. now we need to know how can we capture image using webcam.

If you have any valuable suggection, please do come to help us.

waiting reply,
vishak, student

hi friend,
Glad to meet you. I am a student too, and now doing a "vitual classroom" project.
May be we can communicate some idea of it:)
