How to Install WebcamStudio in Ubuntu, Linux Mint via PPA

Last updated: April 4, 2019

WebcamStudio is a virtual webcam software that can be used with Skype or a flash website like UStream, to create a professional looking broadcast, including banners, animations, transit animations and icons, etc.

This tool is not meant as a video editor but as a live video mixer giving you the possibilities to change the look of the broadcast on the fly.

Some of the features include:

  • Switch webcams on a single click
  • Show an IRC channel in your video broadcast
  • Broadcast your desktop for creation of nice HOWTO’s
  • Be creative and put animations and banners
  • Display what song is currently played by Rhythmbox
  • Co-host a remote friend, show his webcam inside your output (PicInPic)
  • Connect to WeatherBug and display your current weather
  • Apply some fancy effects on each source
  • Have a green wall, then why not use the ChromaKey effect to do the same as the weather man on the news network
  • Use all kinds of devices as webcamera like a MiniDV, your iPhone, etc.

    • Install WebcamStudio from GetDeb:

    The getdeb repository provides the latest version for Ubuntu 13.04, Ubuntu 12.04 and a little old version of Ubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu 11.10, Ubuntu 12.10, and Linux Mint.
