[FIXED] Decent Video Chat API?

Issue

Just wondering. I'm looking to build a small web application with a single page. It will essentially be a video chat page so I'm looking for an API I can use or any other solutions?

This would be run on a LAMP stack.

Solution

A SO search reveals lots of similar questions which are worth checking/contributing to.

It depends if you want something free or are prepared to pay but some things that come up are (mind I havent used any of these myself):

• http://www.tokbox.com/
• http://code.google.com/apis/talk/open_communications.html#developer
• http://www.process-one.net/en/blogs/article/oneteam_media_server_by_processone
• https://sites.google.com/site/webrtc/ (Now at: https://webrtc.org/ )
• https://www.skype.com/en/developer/
• http://farsight.freedesktop.org/wiki/
• https://www.twilio.com/docs/api/video
• Some MS libraries are mentioned here: Developing a Video Chat Application with high quality video streaming
• Apple had promised to open up FaceTime but so far nothing has happened

To get up and running quickly it seems tokbox would be most suitable.
