How does chatroulette anonymous video and audio work?

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4253449

Question

Out of curiosity, what kind of system is in place on Chatroulette sites? I'm guessing its not XMPP, and I don't see how it can be anonymous. Do they just record IPs and start streaming between them? Are there any tools for this?

Was it helpful?

Solution

It uses the RTMFP protocol - this guy writes about how it works - http://www.bradymoritz.com/how-does-chatroulette-work-the-rtmfp-protocol
