👉🏻Live Streaming Video Chat App without voice using cv2 module of Python

Let’s Go !!

Prerequisite:-

1- Webcam

2- Internet Connectivity

3- Any IDE with python extension. (eg- jupyter notebook)

4- Some of the python libraries already installed (socket, imutils, pickle, struct, cv2)

Note- If pip is not upgraded then run this command

→ python -m pip install –upgrade pip

Here are the commands to install given libraries through cmd-

→ pip install sockets

→ pip install imutils

→ pip install pickle-mixin

→pip install supyr_struct

→ pip install opencv-python

Let’s know in brief about socket programming -

Socket programming is a way of connecting two nodes on a network to communicate with each other. One socket(node) listens on a particular port at an IP, while other socket reaches out to the other to form a connection.

Write some code-

Create a python files named as “server.py” and “client.py”

Armaan-zaheer/python_project

👆🏻 Above is the GitHub url you can find code there.

Clone that code and run into your IDE.

Run file “server.py”

You get your host ip of your system. Enter your host ip in client.py file in socket creation section.

Run file “client.py”

See your webcam light opens and two video frame open in task bar one is from server side and another is client side.

RESULTS -

1- receiving video and 2 — from server

Hurrahhh!!!😍😍

We did it…✌🏻✌🏻
