How to use wowza media server in asp.net website?

Question

I have a website in asp.net where i want users to connect their web cam and allow them to broadcast their audio/video. On other page i want to show their live streaming.

I want to be able to send video stream from my application to a wowza media server. Is it possible? If yes, then how can i interact with streaming data with my .net application like; if i want to store text chat or take screenshots from the broadcast or want to merge my application data into the chat, what API/Methods should i call from my .net website?

I have seen http://www.wowza.com/media-server/developers#wowza-ide and found that it's for java developer but what about others like .net? Can we use wowza in .net application?

Thanks in advance.

Although not your exact requirement, the Wowza chat tutorial get you headed in the right direction: http://www.wowza.com/forums/content.php?42.

The wowza link describes an example chat client at /examples/VideoChat/FlashRTMPPlayer/player.html. In order to develop your own chat client you'll need to create your own Flash client, typically using ActionScript. If you aren't a flash developer you could look at OpenTok as an alternative to Wowza. They have a javascript API, no flash development skills required.
