Use your webcam to take photos instead of videos.
Take photos
Webcams can be used to take still photos as well as videos. To take a
photo:
-
Make sure that you are in Photo mode. If you are, the
Photo button will be selected on the left side
of the screen.
-
Click the Take a photo using a webcam
button in the middle of the bottom panel, or press the
Space key, to take the photo.
-
There will be a short countdown, followed by a flash, and the photo
will appear in the photo stream.
The photos in the photo stream are automatically saved in the
Pictures/Webcam folder in your home folder. They are saved
using the JPEG (.jpg) format.
To cancel taking a photo after you have clicked Take a Photo,
press Esc before the countdown finishes.
To take multiple photos in rapid succession, use
Burst mode.
