http://crunchbanglinux.org – Hello,I'm relatively new to Crunchbang and loving it. However, having one problem. I find I need Skype. I have installed the software. I have bought myself a webcam - Creative Chat HD720p. I run Chrunchbang in VirtualBox on a Windows host. I know that the webcam works on Windows.Skype does not detect any webcam. I have installed v4l libraries. I have set the VBox to recognise the webcam USB.Is there something I should be doing?Don (HowTos)

Stories similar to webcam

I've installed and re-installed flash many times on my laptop (Philco 14d-p744lm)

When I use a website that uses the webcam in Flash, for example, Chatroulette or Omegle, and i click on "allow" to allow my webcam to turn on, it doesn't do anything.

This does not happen in Windows 7. What do I need to install/use to make my laptop webcam work with Flash?

I got a laptop (core 2 duo, 2 GB ram) without a webcam and using Ubuntu v. 12.10 OS. As I wish to make skype video calls with my Family I wish to buy a webcam. My budget is low, so I can't spent a lot on it. As I haven't found any webcam suggestions for the Ubuntu 12.10 OS, but only for earlier OS versions, could you suggest me a webcam type(s) that I could use for skype v.

Cheese-like webcam app for KDE? 3 years 25 weeks ago

Is it my imagination, or does KDE lack a native webcam application like Cheese?

Windows XP has something, and Gnome has Cheese but the only thing I've found is Kopete and Skype.

Skype doesn't recognize the webcam and when I try to set up the webcam in Kopete it locks the entire program and I have to force it to shutdown.

HI,

using Xubuntu 12.04.01 since a few weeks I hit now the point to activate my webcam within skype. Unfortunately the webcam is neither working within Skype or within Cheese. I only see a black frame with no content. I guess the webcam isn't detected as a video device at all.

I have a Presario CQ56 running Ubuntu 12.04 and the webcam does not work with Skype. Skype tells me it does not detect a webcam when I search for one. Is there a way I can fix this?

I am trying to use my webcam (Creative Live! Cam Chat) to take an image in C/C++ and save it to a certain folder(running Ubuntu). Ideally I'm looking to something as simple as possible despite it not being the most elegant solution.

I have a Logitech C510 webcam connected to my desktop running 64-bit Ubuntu 11.10, but it doesn't seem to be working when I run Cheese and Skype. After doing some search, it seems this webcam should just work out of the box. However, Cheese and Skype don't seem to work with it.

Hello,

I just installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my computer and am completely new to Linux. I downloaded Skype and have it working now, but I'm unable to turn on my webcam. I went to testmycam.com and it wasn't detecting that I had a webcam there either.
