Live Streaming Video Chat App without voice using CV2

OpenCV is a library of programming functions mainly aimed at real-time computer vision.It can be used to do various operations like making a love streaming video chat app. Before knowing how we can do that we should know what is socket programming.

Socket Programming

Socket programming is a way of connecting two nodes on a network to communicate with each other. One socket(node) listens on a particular port at an IP, while other socket reaches out to the other to form a connection. Server forms the listener socket while client reaches out to the server.

Now after getting a small introduction about socket programming let see how we can use socket programming and CV2 to make a live streaming video app. For this I wrote two codes in Jupyter Notebook one as server.py which on running act as server and one is client.py which act as client. Once both the code a connection is establish between server and client node and the video can be transfer from one node to other,

Client.py

Server.py
