I've used VLC before.  Its a swiss army knife for video playback with
capture capability.  Crazy big dependency list.  It may be a bit
overkill if all you what is a simple webcam software.

webcamoid looks interesting, I'll have to check it out.

wxcam on Slackbuilds,org. VERY minimal and few bells and whistles.  I
might drop it when Slackware current -> 15.0 in favor of maybe webcamoid.

For the crusty command line crowd, ffmpeg will also capture, see
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Capture/Webcam

QT4 and QT5 have test utilities, "QT V4L2 Test Utility" and "QT V4L2
capture utility"
