Really happy with this! Works out of the box, no issues. I have a very up-to date laptop so driver support isn't great with Linux at the moment but I got this and it worked. Thank you. :)

Doesn't play well with my Linux Mint 2.13 Mate desktop. There's video from my webcam, but it's almost transparent, and I haven't found any way to make it opaque. This is of no use to me.

It allows me access to my webcam. Using it on a HP Deskpro 6200, running Mint 21.3 (Virginia [Mate]), and a Logitech Brio. The application allows me to access most of the cam's features. I do detect a lag with it (unlike Webcamoid [that apps more responsive]). It's a simple application (it appears that the Flatpack version's different from the System Package [LM] version). I'd recommend it.

Alapból nem lehet kamerát használni, ez miért nincs default telepítve? Közepes score mert a külső kamerát vagy észleli vagy nem.

me gusta, es simple y funciona bien, pero podria mejorar un poco mas en algunas opciones. si la recomiendo. (I like it, it's simple and it works well, but it could improve a little more in some options. yes I recommend it.)

Never really worked with any of my cameras and pcs over the years. With my old hp laptop's camera, as well as with my old crypto camera, it achieved VERY low framerate (like 1-2 fps). With my new microsoft modern camera, it doesn't show any picture at all. All three cameras always worked fine with any camera-using app (whatsapp, viber, zoom)

great app, but this version is outdated (3.34.0) and does not detect my macbook camera (mint 20.3). the flatpak version works fine (3.38.0) but requires installing a gigabyte or two of gnome platform packages (not good for laptops with limited storage)

In common with other recent reviews, I'm not getting a menu bar in Mint 20 XFCE. This is apparently an "Editors pick" in the Mint software manager, but I wouldn't recommend it at the moment.

Same here - both versions (native and flatpak) doesn't show menu bar in Linux Mint 20, Cinnamon 4.6.7 - I installed all the system today.

I'm using the Flatpak version on Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon, but the "Cheese" menu has disappeared. I cannot adjust any of the preferences, so my webcam and document scanner are really dark.

Burst feature is bugged. I'm trying to record every 60 seconds, but the app doesn't honour what's set in the preferences.
