Embed Video Conference into Internet Browser in MAC Environm

Apr 22, 2007 8:44PM PDT

Hi,

I would like to create a web page in which web user is able to perform
video conference with another web user. Therefore, there must have a
video conference capability that enables both users to see one
another. Do anyone have any idea on how to embed video conference
application into web page in Mac environment? Or is there any other
way to create the video conference from scratch using Java since Mac
Internet browser support Java.


As I know, we are able to embed NetMeeting application into web page
as it supports ActiveXControl in Windows environment. However, when I
wish to display the page in Mac environment, the NetMeeting seems
unable to work as Mac unable to support the ActiveXControl. So, any
suggestion to make it works?


I would appreciate any help being provided.


Thanks.

Where to start?

http://developer.apple.com/ seems like the entry point to doing this. It has all the tools (free), documentation (free) and some examples but may not do exactly what you wish.

Since mac has ichat wouldn't the natural path be to ask how to embed that?
