Simple Camera App is a high-performance, distraction-free camera viewer for Linux. Designed for speed and simplicity, it provides an instant live feed from your integrated webcam, USB cameras, or virtual video devices.
Key Features:
Ideal for developers testing video hardware, creators monitoring their setup, or users who need a clean camera window.
IMPORTANT: Currently, you have to provide a camera capability to the app, like this:
sudo snap connect simple-camera-app:camera
In a future version this won't be necessary. We are working on it!
