1. A live video messaging system implemented on a communication network, comprising:

  • a node on the communication network, the node arranged to;

    receive an identifier associated with a live video message transmitted over the communication network from a first client communication device, the identifier identifying a recipient of the live video message;

    ascertain, in response to receipt of the identifier, an IP address for a second client communication device on the communication network associated with the recipient;

    persistently store video media of the live video message as the video media is received at the node from the first client communication device; and

    transmit the video media of the live video message to the second client communication device using the IP address, the transmission enabling the video media of the live video message to be rendered live at the second client communication device as the video media is transmitted by the first client communication device and received, stored and transmitted by the node on the communication network,wherein the transmission of the video media of the live video message supports live video messaging between the first client communication device and the second client communication device without first establishing an end-to-end connection over the communication network between the first and second client communication devices.
