I have a problem with my webcam working in browser, I tried Firefox and chromium first. When I go to the flash plugin setting

http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html

It doesn't show the websites that I want to allow to access the webcam. So I used chrome.

In chrome I was able to allow flash to access my webcam but still doesn't work.

PS The cam works on cheese booth without an problem, and am using Ubuntu 14.04

Flash is now phased out of chrome. To fix a USB camera permissions problem (the camera wasn't working in Chrome), I ended up doing this:

sudo chmod g+rw /dev/video0

It's probably a permissions problem. Try adding your account to the video and audio groups under manage groups.

Also, check if you are running Chrome as an un-privileged account (rather than your own account). If you are, you'll need to add that user to video and audio groups, also.
