@gnome Does anyone know if the Cheese web camp app will be updated to support HD please.

I am asking as it seems it is maintained by the gnome team. I amk also asking as I have a Bresser USB Microscope, which works fine in Cheese, however the microscope supports up to 1080 pictures, but Cheese only goes up to 640x480.

@zleap @gnome I'm using Ubuntu 22.04 and Cheese 3.34.0 with 1920x1080 (Full HD) on two different cameras. One is a normal Creative webcam and the other is a HD document camera. No problems here.

Thanks for this,I will need to check which version of cheese I am using then, being @Debian it may be older.

@zleap @gnome In a german ubuntu wiki I found the following hint:
"Troubleshooting for newer versions.
Some webcams seem to only produce low-resolution images when using the newer versions of Ubuntu/Cheese. This can be worked around in most cases by using the latest libv4l versions.
- libv4l-0"

@makeratschool @gnome

Interesting as Debian 11 has version 3.38.0 . I get the following.resolution options.

Time for more digging I guess

@zleap Another idea: just try out webcamoid. The user interface is a little bit disturbing 😉 , but it's doing a good job. And you can download it as an appimage before you install it webcamoid.github.io/
