I've installed ekiga, guvcview, xawtv, cheese, webcam and webcamoid, kamoso, and akqml, all with synaptic. Some didn't run with error messages, some ran but needed a USB cam, none accessed the built-in webcam. Which application have others installed to use the webcam and how did you install it?
I just tried Firefox and Chrome on stock Debian and neither worked when sites tried to access the camera. However Cheese did work-ish.
It was very slow, under 1 frame per second but I was able to take pictures. There were some warnings in stdout as well
Code:
(cheese:2724): cheese-WARNING **: A lot of buffers are being dropped.: gstbasesink.c(2834): gst_base_sink_is_too_late (): /GstCameraBin:camerabin/GstViewfinderBin:vf-bin/ClutterGstVideoSink:cluttergstvideosink0:
