Consider using the LEADTOOLS Multimedia toolkit (https://www.leadtools.com/sdk/engine/multimedia) which contains DirectShow based controls that you can use to capture video from your webcam, play it back, and convert it into various supported format or live streams. For example the code to use the LEADTOOLS capture control in .NET to capture video from camera and save it as AVI file will look like this: int cameraIndex = CaptureCtrl1.VideoDevices.IndexOf(cameraDeviceName); CaptureCtrl1.VideoDevices.Selection = cameraIndex; CaptureCtrl1.VideoCompressors.H264.Selected = true ; CaptureCtrl1.TargetFormat = TargetFormatType.Avi; CaptureCtrl1.TargetFile = @ "c:\VideoOutput\captureFile.avi" ; CaptureCtrl1.StartCapture(CaptureMode.Video);

Below is a link to a free jQuery webcam plugin. I have not tried it out myself, but it looks promising. http://www.xarg.org/project/jquery-webcam-plugin I know you are asking for C# code, but you have to divide the development into a number of tasks. Ata minimum something along the lines of: - Capture the video on the client side - Transfer the video from the client to the server - Store the video on the server. If the jQuery plugin gets the first two steps done for you, it will be a lot quicker for you to complete development of the feature. Here is a link to a forum thread. Go to the second page to learn how others solved it in their application. http://forums.asp.net/t/1911753.aspx/1
