All I get is a translucent screen that gives a transparency so you can see the windows behind it. No real options that help you to solve this problem, just basic resolution options.
Is this normal?

Hello norse,
I think, your are using an integrated laptop webcam. Is the room well lit?
Try it with the program guvcview in the software manager. And you can also try it via browser:

It simply does not show up in the browser with cheese.
But I hav just installed guycview, and that looks like a real professional piece of software. Is that OS? Looks good. Thanks for showing me an alternative.
Cheers!

Hello norse,

Nononono, just asking if its Open Source?
The s/w seems a long way ahead of cheese which is basic and crap, whereas as this is really nice. I like it.

Yes. I just asked, because "OS is for me the abbreviation for "Operating System" like Linux, Windows etc.Nononono, just asking if its Open Source?
Re: Cheese is useless - no other options for webcams in software manager
OK, sounds good! OS is a pretty unfortunate acronym.
Thanks again HAWR.
