Ideally what I was initially looking for is an implementation of the HTML5 Media Capture API with a polyfill rolling back to Flash, however, my research has concluded that the API is in its infancy and is yet to be taken up by any of the major vendors, and in addition to that, Flash means for doing what I need seem scarce.

I need to be able to take webcam input from a camera, show a live preview, record, and play back that recording, nothing more, no upload to server necessary, all local.

Are there any decent Flash solutions? Or other means of achieving this?

I have found a lot of references to Red5, to clarify, would that refer to this: ? Is this really the tool to use or are there better alternatives?

• It seems Red5 does recording on the server-side, so it isn't suitable :( – Steve Commented Nov 24, 2011 at 12:08
• 1 Actually what happens is the audio and video data is captured by the Flash client running in the browser, encoded (by Flash player/the puter running the client) and sent via streaming/rtmp to the media server (Red5). The media server's job is just to put that data into .flv or .f4v or mp4 files. – octavn Commented Feb 24, 2015 at 13:27

I ended up using http://nimbb. for this, the free version has some limitations but gives the basic functionality needed met my criteria for the project.

In addition to my needs it also allows users to upload recordings to the Nimbb website and share over social, which can't hurt!

I too am looking around for the same feature. The best I found was Open-Tok, they do all the work

My problem is my site is adult in nature, so the people recording the videos would more than likely be naked. This is against the terms of service for Open-Tok I do like their offering.
