Cheese is a nifty little application that makes it easy to use your computer’s built-in — or plugged-in — webcam to take photos and videos. Given today’s penchant for populating social media with photo journals, Cheese can be one of your must-have Linux tools. This handy webcam app brings to your portable and desktop computers the same degree of instant image tweaking that many smartphone and tablets currently offer. You can use its toolbox of features based on GStreamer to apply fancy special effects.
The default format for video output is Theora, (last time I used it) which is not a youtube supported fromat.
