| |
| − | ===And for my webcam to work in the internet browser, how do I do it?===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Firstly, weI would suggest installing webcamoid to confirm your camera works as expected.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <code>sudo pkg install webcamoid</code>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Then select, "Applications" -> "Sound & Video" -> "Webcamoid"
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If webcamoid crashes, it is likely your webcam is not recognized.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You'll likely need to make the ''/boot/devices.hints'' writable, and then add additional entries to get your webcam recognized. It is similar to adding audio entries for apple laptops. Which entries you require depends on model.
