Hi,

I'm looking to build a prototype for an application that can do P2P video chat a la Skype or Tango. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how that could be done? Is it possible with the available libraries? Any help would be appreciated.

For real-time video you will need to write C++ code with Android NDK.

You might want to check this example: http://www.b4x.com/forum/showthread.php?p=136681

Not a real video, but using this http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4andr...losed-circuit-tv-cctv-example.html#post136681 it can be done (the example shows one way, it can be done both ways).
It works on a local network.

Thanks for your help! Now if I were to have two-way streaming using this, would I still need to stream the video through the server? How about the audio?

You do not need a server to send the frames between two devices. Audio is more difficult as it cannot be easily broken into "frames". Search the site for several related discussions.
