How can you stream video of yourself if you have no webcam.. If you are looking for jusst streaming audio use Sam Broadcaster.
Reply:First of all, if you don't have a webcam what video are you going to stream?


Secondly, if you don't host the domain on a server, there will be no site for people to visit. The domain name is just an address to the server your site is on.





You need to have some kind of video to stream, that source can be from a webcam or video camera. You also need to have someone hosting your site.
Reply:first of all you should not say what you don't want as you don;t know how these things work yet.





If you want video to be live on a web site, first you need a way to get video from a camera to the web server in a streaming matter.





You need some kind of camera for that. Call it a webcam or not, you need some kind of video camera.





Then you need a web server capable of serving streams. don't worry, you won't get that for $10 a month, because you will need a higher tier of service then that. At the very least, yo are going to need a VPS or more likely a dedicated server.





Then you are going to need enough bandwidth each month to cover the video uploads and downloads (streams) alike. How much depends on how popular your site is, and if everyone watches all at once or not.





Then you need to know how to administer the computer, both for functionality, and for security matters.





then you have to make an actual web site, of which registering a domain at godaddy.com and causing it to be located on your server is pretty easy.





Then all you have to do is get the word out for people to visit your web site :)





You might be able to practice this, or at least try stuff out, at home with a version of the linux operating system called Dynebolic. Look up their web site, and you will find a community and lots of free software you can probably use on the PC you already have to get a handle on things.





If you are dead set against paying for a real hosting service with real bandwidth, you can do what I mentioned using dynebolic hooked up to your home dsl or cable network, but the upload speeds are probably going to be insufficient to do more then one or two simultaneous streams of any quality. But you can at least practice with that - what you learn will be directly transferable to a real web host.
