I use gtk-v4l to control the webcam during meetings
ok,
I just installed that too. It launches ok, but until I have a zoom (or something similar)
meeting, I won't know if it really works.
guvcview has a "-z" option to bring it up in control-only
mode,
otherwise it grabs the video stream too.
I did not see that option in the man page. How did you know (or find out) about it?
I get quite a bunch of messages when I run "guvcview -z" from the command line,
but the GUI does come up, and it looks ok. I won't know if it really works until I
have a zoom (or something similar) meeting. I don't know when that will be.
Thank-you for your help, DJ. I'll try to remember to follow-up once these are really
tried. It may be a few weeks.
