I am very pleased that I was able to get my Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 to work with this software. So much that I purchased the Pro version. I had to change the "Priority video mode" option from "Priority MJPEG(default)" to "Priority YUV." When in the "Priority MJPEG(default)" mode the software crashes as soon as I press the record button (for videos or stills). I wish the software allowed for 16:9 aspect ratio. I don't see an option for it. No matter what I change, the recordings still come out 4:3. The camera is capable of 1920x1080 resolution. At least, under Windows. It very well could be a limitation of the device and/or the lack of available software/drivers to support the device using Linux. I ran into similar issues with the camera on my Raspberry Pi. I could get 1920x1080 video out of the device, but only using YUV. I could never get it to work using MJPEG. It would simply display a blank black window. I'm going to be using this as a dash camera. Despite only being able to record in the 4:3 aspect ratio, I am anxious to record some videos using this software! Of all the "USB webcam" apps available in the Google Play store, this is the only one that detected my camera.

It works just plug can in.

The description says it will save videos to "external storage/Movies/UsbWebCamera " but it is storing the video on the internal storage. I don't see a setting to change it to the external storage. Is there a setting that I am not seeing?? Using on a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with Android 5.0. Otherwise, this is a great app!

Great app for utilising UVC cameras on Android devices. Thanks!

Works perfectly on my all winner tablet and my galaxy note 4. Should check the quality of the USB cameras before leaving a poor rating as this is where the problems lie.

Paid for pro version to get higher res, but still the same res as the free version. Also, taking a photo doesn't work. Samsung s3.

Love the app best out there for usb webcam. I have a request for the future.please allow no gap between recording in cyclic mode.
