How to use my webcam?

#1 Post by dirtykarma1 »

Hello i am new to Linux. i have Precise Puppy 5.7.1 & have been enjoying it verry much as i find it pretty easy to navigate simple tasks.
ok the question, i have been using my webcam on many chat sites, however on the one i like to work the most i cannot get my webcam to broadcast. there is a box telling me that i am using an old version of adobe & need to upgrade? why only the one site? can someone please help me, as that is my only income due to disability? if i am too vague on info please let me know. thank you, karma:)

Hi...

Welcome to the forum :)

Adobe has stopped supporting standalone versions of Flash Player for Linux since 11.2, except for security and bug fixes. The only way to get a newer release of Flash Player is to install a recent copy of Google Chrome, which includes the "Pepper" version of Flash.

Please see here. :wink:

There are open source versions of flash, Gnash and Lightspark but I don't think they work as well as Adobe's.
