Can a webcam be used by more than one applications at the same time? I would like to use it simultaneously under Skype and under guvcview, but it can't do that. Thanks!

Skype somehow "steals" the camera from being used by other things. maybe you can with Cheese and guvcview, but for sure not with Skype ;) – dadexix86 Feb 25 '14 at 14:56
