I routinely use MPV for that.mpv av://v4l2:/dev/video0- You may need to try other devices, as listed by `ls /dev/video*`.
- I routinely use **MPV** for that.
- mpv --profile=low-latency --untimed av://v4l2:/dev/video0
- You may need to try other devices, as listed by `ls /dev/video*`.
- Thanks to Canina for suggesting the two --options, necessary to avoid latency.
- I also found [Arch Linux: Webcam setup: Applications](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Webcam_setup#Applications), which lists several alternatives, such as **Xawtv**, **VLC** and **Mplayer**. [**Ffmpeg**](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/FFmpeg#Recording_webcam) is also listed there, but it does not fit the requirements of this question because apparently it cannot display the feed at the same time it records.
