Written by yzarc the 12 Aug 08 at 11:29. Global category: Hardware support. New
ubuntu should have a webcam control panel app where would be possible to set configurations like brightness, colour, exposure, etc while we are using the webcam in any application.
maybe some effects too.

Solution #3: Applications menu should have entry for "guvcview -o"
Written by mikko.rantalainen the 7 Oct 10 at 10:50.
"guvcview -o" provides a control panel for web cameras and has ability to save and load settings. A suitable location for entry could also be System - Preferences.

Some work for it would still be required:
- ability to select device from the UI (if multiple cameras has been connected)
- ability to silently and automatically load predefined configuration for a camera during login/system startup.
- only works with UVC cameras, support for cameras with random data interfaces would be much harder to implement
