I am running Ubuntu GNOME 15.04 and I find Cheese very basic, are there any alternatives (I have already read this Anything better than Cheese for video capture?, however that is only really on video recording, and I would like a balance)?

Specifically, I would like an application which can:

  • Record from the webcam
  • Take pictures
  • Record audio
  • Take screencasts (audio recording included in that as well)

Is there a program that can do all this?

    I'd say this is rather opinion based and has no 100% good answer – David Oct 07 '15 at 14:14

    @DavidCole: Well, there are many questions like this on the site, and they tend to find at least a good collection of alternatives, so I don't see why this one shouldn't. –  Oct 07 '15 at 14:19
  • If everyone else on the site said that they were killing themselves, would you too? @ParanoidPanda – David Oct 07 '15 at 14:30

    If everyone were being rude to one another, would you? Also http://meta.askubuntu.com/questions/14394/are-software-recommendations-on-topic-or-not ;) – Arronical Oct 07 '15 at 14:37
  • @Arronical: No, but this sort of question is generally accepted here. –  Oct 07 '15 at 18:23
  • I use VLC - [media] - [capture device] /dev/video0 when I have to put my encounter suit on... Doesn't do screen casts though... – Fabby Oct 07 '15 at 21:01
  • @DavidCole When you think something is off topic it's good practise not to answer. – Tim Oct 23 '15 at 23:57
  • @David We've finally reopened this, and in light of our actual policy about this sort of question, I can't think of a reason it would be off-topic. So if that's the reason you had deleted your answer, then you may want to undelete it. kazam is still in the repositories for current versions of Ubuntu, and I believe it is useful. – Eliah Kagan Sep 05 '17 at 22:48
