With the introduction of HTML5, you can now place videos directly into the page itself.

The HTML <video> element is used to embed video in web documents.

HTML5 video works by allowing the person uploading the video to embed it directly into a web page.

I recommended you to use Wowza Media Server ( Ofcourse there are several streaming servers are there. Wowza delivers video/audio with great performance and service ) I am using it for my projects. It also supports opensource players like flow player, Jw players etc.. Install Wowza Media Server on your machine and create a live application on it and start broadcast. You need an encoder for live streaming, You can use Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder for testing. Wowza can able to broadcast the videos to iphone, Webpage, etc.,
