How to use your webcam with Chrome and Firefox in FreeBSD

Installation

pkg inst pwcview v4l-utils v4l_compat webcamd
kldload cuse
sysrc -f /boot/loader.conf cuse_load=YES
sysrc webcamd_enable=YES
pw groupmod webcamd -m user
service devd restart
service webcamd start

A reboot is highly recommended

Then, we can test with pwcview

pwcview -d /dev/video0
