A system and method of providing streaming audio and video data to multiple
users is described. In one embodiment, the system comprises a first
client, a second client and a server. The first and second clients are
executing browsers. The server can communicate with the two clients. The
server concurrently provides streaming audio and video data to both of the
clients. Importantly, the server does not require the two browsers to use
a plug-in or a helper application to receive and use the streaming audio
and video data.
