Hi there, I am currently creating an app that allows a user to wecam chat to ONE other user - not multiple users, just one.

The application contains a list of friends and you can call a friend by clicking the call button next to each name.

Depending on whether the callee accepts or denies the call you can start having a webcam conversation.

Basically I do not want a multiple video conferencing application.

Should I still be using LCCS for this type of application or is there something else more suited for this?

I started building the application in Stratus and everythign was working well using near_id and far_ids to directly connect to each other but then I realised that Stratus is not going to be commerically available so I need another alternative. LCCS seems like the right one but there are hardly any documentation out there for private web cam chats.

It seems like creating a group is the way to go, if that is the case then everytime a user calls a friend, a group must be created at that time, would this be right?

but then how can the subscriber know what the group name is?

And how will the subscriber know that someone is calling them?

This makes me think that LCCS is not the one for me.... or is it?

Any help would be most appreicated, thank you.
