How doi I get my Creative ULTRA webcam in ZOOM?

[lawrencek]

I can get ZOOM to connect with my Creative Ultra web cam, and its light comes on. But there is no image.
Perhaps I ned a driver and there does not seem to be one for Debian.

There seems to be a way to use windows drivers, if you could remind me how to do it.

Thanks

Does the webcam work in Debian? For example with cheese?

I get /dev/video when it is connected

hwinfo shows the camera, and I ran the modprobe:

You could try something like:

Code: Select all

WINEDEBUG=+qcap wine ???.exe &>~/wine_v4l_log.txt

- to test that your web camera is recognised by the Video 4 Linux subsystem in Wine.

See: WineHQ FAQ: 10.1.1 How can I get a debugging log (a.k.a. terminal output)?

I am wanting zoom in linux.

The ???, in the executable name, is just a placeholder.
That's why a gave you a link to the appropriate section of the WineHQ Wiki, which shows how to launch a Wine command from the terminal.
You'd need to work out what the Creative utility executable path is.
Then change directory and run the executable directly.

Something like:

Code: Select all

find "${WINEPREFIX:-${HOME%/}/.wine}/drive_c" -iname "*.exe" | grep 'Program Files'

might help (to find executables - installed in your WINEPREFIX)!

It would be a good idea to get in the habit of using the forum Code tags to delimit terminal commands and output.
The </> button above the (full) forum edit box.
