Snapshot is an app that allows you to take pictures and videos with your system's camera. It became GNOME's default webcam app in GNOME 45.

Installed the system package and found that it works both with my built-in webcam and with my external (USB) webcam. Except that it crashes if I start Snapshot first and plug in the camera after. (I must plug in the camera first and then start Snapshot.) Also, I find that the Main Menu ("hamburger menu") is glitchy, but I find that in a lot of programs: is it just on my computer, or is this often a problem with Cinnamon, or is it because this program is made for GNOME and not Cinnamon? (Cinnamon is a fork of GNOME.) Anyway, you rarely need the Main Menu, and the program works well and is easy to use. It does the simple things a camera program should do. I do miss a button to link to the folders where photos and videos get stored: ~/Pictures/Camera and ~/Videos/Camera (replace "Pictures" and "Videos" with the language of your Mint installation). The program shows up in the program menu as "Camera" (in the language of your installation).
