Rev. June 30/24: stopped working after recent updates (frustrating), so -2; original post = I'm using Webcamoid on a HP Deskpro 2600 (running Mint 21.3 Virginia [Mate]). And a Logitech Brio webcam. It immediately recognized my cam and allowed me to use it. One criticism: you get a notification urging you upgrade to the latest version (ver. 8.x to 9.x)... provided you pay for the upgrade. It's <$5USD, so it's not onerous. I'd recommend the author reword that tab within the application (don't say update... word it as

Fails to detect my webcam (a truly ancient USB Trust 15007), but Zoom can use the cam without any problem, so I know the cam is working.

Since its no longer possible to change webcam resolutions in Cheese, Webcamoid is the best choice. Here you can still set your webcam resolutions, but also the file format, like MKV, MP4 and others.

Worked out of the box for me (Mint Cinnamon 20.04, NVidia drivers and KDE installed, Logitech WebCam). Haven't tried it in a video call yet but it detected my webcam and monitors instantly and I tried out a few plugins (the ASCII and Matrix ones are particularly good, by the way!)

I'm not sure what the issue was with it not launching in some versions but it worked right "out of the box" for me through the Software Manager. So far on Mint Linux/Ubuntu this is the easiest program for getting into webcam presentation with special effects. No issues and seems verbose enough for general uses. Tested on Mint LInux 20 (upgraded from 19) on a Lenovo T480 using an external Logitech Brio webcam.

But... v.1.0 (from https://webcamoid.github.io/ on: Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon 64b) works perfectly.
