How to connect a webcam in linux ubuntu?

Question

I'm trying to connect my webcam but when its connecting it comes up with the little white adobe box where you allow/deny and i cant click either of them. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You cannot click the "Allow" or "Deny" button because Adobe poorly wrote Flash for Linux.



This is a known bug. You can always try Cheese but not all cameras will be compatible, and even if they are, if you use the web browser it most likely won't work.

Answer 2

"Allow/Deny" is an Adobe setting, it isn't strictly involved with Ubuntu accessing your webcam.



Do you have a webcam program installed yet, like Cheese or GUVCView?

Answer 3

Allow / deny ?



We need more info or please post a screen shot by pressing the printscreen key on your keyboard and uploading that to some photosharing site like photobucket

Edit

Try installing a webcam app from the appstore / software center

Skype, cheese, digikam

Answer 4
