Is it currently possible to create a flash free live webcam chat with HTML5? If so, how can I go about doing this?

With the introduction of HTML5, you can now place videos directly into the page itself. This makes it possible to have videos play on pages that are designed for mobile devices, as plugins like Adobe Flash Player don't work on Android or iOS.
The webmasters need to use special HTML5 coding and include WebM, MP4 and OGG formats on their web pages. Before HTML5 videos were only played using the Flash Player. You can view HTML5 videos on all popular browsers such as Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Safari.
HTML5 video is when you put a <video> tag in your web page and set a certain src for it. HTML5 streaming is the same thing but when src points not to a complete video file but rather to an ever-updating video stream. YouTube does HTML video, Twitch does HTML5 streaming.
