There are different application in Ubuntu for webcam recording like the cheese. Even though the cheese is great application I don’t find it quite suitable for other different purpose. Recently I am using GUVC viewers and I found it quite handy tools than cheese. Of course cheese has lots of features and is wonderful application. But when it comes to screen-casting GUVC views wins the race You might be wondering about the reason. I use both application and try to compare each other function GUVC views wins in different way. not only in terms of quality but also in terms of different functions.
