Here, it worked. Thank-you. But the man page should also list that option. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

I did not see that option in the man page. How did you know (or find out) about it? I get quite a bunch of messages when I run "guvcview -z" from the command line, but the GUI does come up, and it looks ok. I won't know if it really works until I have a zoom (or something similar) meeting. I don't know when that will be. Thank-you for your help, DJ. I'll try to remember to follow-up once these are really tried. It may be a few weeks. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
Re: how to control webcam.
From a script you can use uvcdynctrl. My experience is you can use this while something else is actively using the webcam.

how to control webcam.
(f31; gnome) I have a Ligitech HD Pro Webcam C920; it connects to the tower via USB port. I have not been able to find anything installed to control it, for example to get it to zoom in or out. I also tried dnf and dnfdragora to try to find something to install.
