Hi Erhan, As far as using the webcam is concerned, that'll depend on the program you use. Check the documentation provided by the author. One thing I should point out is that the UVC driver only supports V4L2. What this means to you is that any program you want to use your UVC webcam with must be written with the V4L2 API, not the older V4L API. I believe VLC is an example of a program written with the V4L API (I could be wrong though), and thus a UVC camera won't work in it. Off the top of my head I can't remember which messenger programs are written with V4L2. However, if you want to test if your cam works, get UVC View from the UVC repository and load up your cam with that. You might have to specify some parameters on the command line, but UVC View is the quickest way to see if your cam works or not.
