Hey everyone!

I am trying to put a Video Feed on several of my sites that I made so far. I
like to know how to do this on Expression Web? Any clues?
 
You should post in the Expression Web newsgroup.

First things first- Expression Web questions should be sent to the
Expression Web NG

Putting a live feed onto a webpage is the same process as placing any other
media element, using the <object> tag

---however---

True live streaming video is not done with a Web Server, it is served by a
media server. It could be Windows Media Server, Darwin, QuickTime Server,
amongst others. That is where most of the work will need to be done
 
You can get a WebCams working like this:

1) A program to continuously FTP the captured image to your web site.

2) A way of causing the image on your web page to refresh when the
image is updated.

To refresh the image you could use a META REFRESH tag. To do that you insert
the following code into your HTML in Code View.

<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="30">
This line must be put between <head> and </head>


Also, you need <IMG SRC="mypic.jpg">
where mypic is the name of the file that you continuously upload.

As far as using it in FP just create a subweb (not to be opened in FP) that
you can FTP connect to w/ your webcam (or video cam)


You also might want to look at webcam feed assist software like at
http://www.cambrosia.com/; or the ones mentioned by Mike: Windows Media
Server, Darwin, QuickTime Server...
