Description

A simple GTK application for viewing and capturing video from Video4Linux2 devices such as webcams, capture cards, and USB cameras. It is useful for testing camera output, changing capture settings, and recording basic video.

Install it if you need a graphical webcam or V4L2 capture tool. Camera capture can expose private video and audio, so check devices, permissions, and recording location before use.
