How to link webcams from one computer to another

Hello,

I'm curious as to how websites link users' webcams and microphones together so that they can communicate with one another.

Is there some sort of pre-written code that you can embed in your code to facilitate such a thing?

Thanks.
 
Websites?

Yes, websites. Sites like chatroulette or omegle. Actually, the adult webcam sites are a good example of what I'm talking about. You can click on a button on screen and the site will initiate a webcam connection between you and the model you choose.

You're probably looking for WebRTC, a new standard for such communication.

Thanks for the link, but I've been so busy today that I haven't been able to really read it.

Am I to assume that the new standard is a collection of javascript APIs? Can I just call new javascript functions and launch the webcam connection that easily?

Thanks.
