    Hello. I am in the design process in creating a video chat application. I am trying to come up with the best route for the video transmission..being new to the mobile world I am wondering if there needs to be a 'middle-man' that is in charge of routing the data? For instance, should I have each client hit a webservice that would be in charge of sending the data to the other client? Should I just have the clients connect directly to each other (if possible) and by pass a webservice? Can anyone answer how apps like Periscope handles the transmission of its video? Thank you.

      Any thoughts on this? Was the question asked correctly or did I miss something?

          Doing some more research it appears that we will need a 'Signaling Service' which will be responsible for transmissions of data. PubNub is one that I have found. So far I cannot find another way of doing it, in my app I was hoping to be able to have multi-user video chat..which I could but would have to pay for something like PubNub.

              Thanks Lowongan for the link. I was looking more for development process when creating a video app. I'm more of a 'roll your own' type of guy :)
