UPDATE 2021: As of this year 2021, Adobe Flash has been disabled for all Browsers, so Red5 and FMS (flash media server) do not work. Video chats using flash have stopped working. The only way at this moment is to use HTML5 players.
We at Hosting Marketers have setup a Video chat using WebRTC, if you interested please contact us at Support.
====
The table below is a comparison between Wowza Media Server, the Red5 and the Adobe Flash Media Server. Both Wowza and Adobe Media Server are proprietary systems while Red5 is open source.
Both Wowza and Red5 are based on Java while Adobe Flash Media server uses ActionScript.
