Is it possible to stream a live video feed from the camera of an android phone. I haven't seen any information on Microsoft's website regarding the possibility of live streaming from an android phone.
Azure Media Services supports RTMP ingest. There are open source RTMP libraries for Android. You can build a capture and stream app using this libraries.
Unfortunately we don't provide a capture SDK at the moment.

I'm developing an Android App, that will have videos streamed from Adobe Media Server using RTMPS, and also I need to publish these to AMS.
I've got this link below for:
Downstream:
Live Stream videos from Adobe Media Server
Nothing for publishing upstream. Please suggest, how to proceed with Native Android App.
I do this last year by reading Android Live Streaming courtesy of JavaCV and FFMPEG post. But now, I think You can use Yasea library.It is an Android streaming client. It encodes YUV and PCM data from camera and microphone to H.264/AAC, encapsulates in FLV and transmits over RTMP.
I am developing an Android application in which I want to publish as well as stream a video...
What I want is:
My app records a video and that video is sent to the server
The recorded video will be streamed live to another Android device at the same time..
P.S.:
I am using wowza server and RTMP stream. I would like to stream RTMP video (.flv)... If no solution is available, I would like to switch to RTSP and for that also, need a working link to follow.
Are there any suite of classes that make this easy?
Using libstreaming you can stream live video to the Wowza server form the android device running Android 4.0(API Level 14),or more recent.

Want to develop live stream tv app for android and ios using phonegap. For this purpose i am using license jwplayer for streaming video. Here i am using RTMP url and player is working well in browser. But show error in android and ios.
RTMP is a Flash protocol. There is no Flash on any mobile device. You need to use HLS for streaming to a mobile device.
We have developed video streaming applications for Android and iOS. In this application user can publish video and can view live streams as well. App is working fine from iOS to iOS but can not play on Android. If we publish from Android then it plays on Android, RTMP flash player but not on iOS.
From iOS we are publishing video in H.264 format and Android supports H.264 then why it's not playing on Android?
I can only guess, but It could be a problem with file extension. iOS may expect *.m4v and I'm not sure if the Android can manage it. Also check this topic, it may help you: What h.264 format loads on android AND IOS?
I'm trying to install a Wowza server on my Linux machine to enable the RTSP streaming for my Android application.
On Android client side what sort of changes do I need to make in my application? I'm using Videoview to simply play a video file stored locally.
Now I want to get the video content get streamed through the server that I've installed. If necessary I can move to any other streaming server as right now I'm doing a research on streaming servers.
For rtsp streaming you can also try following servers:
Darwin Streaming Server - linux package is available
Windows Media Services - can be installed on Windows Server Trial
VLC - standalone application
For testing purposes of your application i would also recommend you to use existing mobile video services like:
m.youtube.tv
m.wp.tv
You can extract video links from those sites and use them to test your application.
Try to follow Android ApiDemos, you can find video streaming player example at:
...android-sdk-windows\platforms\android-x\samples\ApiDemos\src\com\example\android\apis\media\MediaPlayerDemo_Video.java
VLC+Android Owns.
I used the following one-liner to stream video of our kittens to our cell phones.
We used the launchRTSP free app to leverage the built-in RTSP viewing capabilities of Android, to access the URL over the internet.
You may want to tweak the frame rate and such. As shown below, it's perfect for webcam streaming.
vlc -vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv -I dummy v4l2://:vdev=/dev/video:width=640:height=480:fps=2 --sout "#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,fps=5,vb=800,acodec=mpga,samplerate=8000,ab=64,deinterlace,channels=1,sfilter='mosaic:marq{marquee=%m-%d-%Y_%H:%M:%S,size=16,color=16711680,position=5,opacity=64}'}:rtp{sdp=rtsp://0.0.0.0:5858/kittens.sdp}"
WCS4 server can deliver WebRTC stream as RTSP.
So you can send WebRTC live stream from Android or desktop Chrome/FF browser and then connnect to this stream via VLC or Android by RTSP.
