This message is to share my experience getting a webcam working with VokoscreenNG-3.0.3 because of the exceptional help of the error file provided by the application's developer.
I plugged my Logitech C925e webcam to the external hub; 'lsusb -v' produced several hundred lines of output about the camera of which I understand 0.07%. Anyway, knowing that it works through the hub I started learning how to use it with vokoscreenNG-3.0.3 (much simpler than obs-studio.) When I first tried (invoking from the shell in a console) I was looking at a blank screen. Killing the application I saw what probably is the most helpful error report I've encountered: [vokoscreenNG] [Camera} Found: Logitech Webcam C925e /dev/video0 [vokoscreenNG] Desktop session is a X11 session Warning: Error: cannot create camera service, the 'camerabin' plugin is missing for GStreamer 1.6. Please install the 'bad' GStreamer plugin package. ((null):0, (null)) [vokoscreenNG] Camera service missing error Notice that he tells me exactly what I need to install to provide camera service. Now that's outstanding developer documentation! I downloaded, built, and installed the SBo gst-plugins-bad package and now when I start vokoscreenNG I see myself in the recording window. I'll now learn how to 1) turn off the camera's microphone and turn on the headset's mic and 2) record a LaTeX Beamer class slide presentation while I record the accompanying text. After mastering this I'll move to learning obs-studio.
