Kind of like a TV, CCTV, or the portal for Portal and Portal 2, so I can see what the camera is seeing on an object. I don't care whether its a material or a modifier, or something like that, even if someone will make a script that is a node or whatever as long as it works, nothing specific as in how I would go about it.

I remember seeing a lot of cool Counter Strike videos back in the day. How do you go about recording your gameplay (any game) into an easy to edit format? Do you need special software? How much does it cost?

I lost my phone today and the data is turned off, but is there any way of tracking it even without the data? or getting my photos back?

I can see the data transferred (internet Download/Upload) in the current session from the System Monitor. But I want something that keeps track of all the data transferred and I can see how much data was used in a month or two. Preferably a GUI tool.

I want to use the webcam on my laptop as video device on my pc to use it for video conferencing etc.  So I not just want to stream the video. I actually want to "stream" the entire device over network.  So, two computers, one streams its webcam, the other picks it up as video device.  Both computes run normal Ubuntu 18.04 however I will soon upgrade to 20.04

I've used  before but for company things it's not appropriate since it becomes public. I need something that lets me record my screen and gives me a small well encoded file that I put into dropbox.  What's my options?

I would like to be able to track exports of reports including the filters of the reports. Do you know of any way that this is possible outside of manual recording?

I recently received a Nikon D3100 as a gift. My main interest is capturing images of parts of my body for dental imagery, personal 'snaphots' (yes I know a bit unusual with an actual camera), human faces etc..   I have always been very displeased with passport photos as I could never see my facial expression when taken in a studio but this time I have an opportunity to choose what image i take. I have read that this camera can be 'live' controlled from a PC. This might be necessary to see the image i'm capturing.  What I'm mainly concerned about is the basic features that I would need to know to create an appropriate passport photo in terms of focus, lighting and quality.  NOTE: This question is regarding the basic aspects needed to take an appropriate close up photo of the face. The other thread (which is not mine anyway) purely discusses connecting the camera to a laptop display. Also that question was asked 4 years ago and I have just received my camera.

I know it existed as sort of a folder in Windows Explorer in at least Windows XP, but I just can't seem to find it in Windows 7...  How can I take a picture with my webcam in Windows 7 without using any 3rd party tools?

I want to get my computer, with ubuntu 16.04, to record every keystroke in every session and store it in a text file. With "every keystroke" I do not mean every keystroke in terminal, because I've already found answers to that, and it's not what I'm looking for.  So, having physical acces to the computer and sudo privileges, is it possible to achieve this? If so, how?

Recently, I have come across this screen recording from a Google blog:      Notice how the mouse pointer moves in straight lines and perfectly accelerated and decelerated. Also, note the zooming in and out.  To me, it looks like all mouse actions were captured, restricted to essentials (mouse clicks), then interpolated (straight motion between clicks), and then replayed and the screen captured.  What tools are available to create screen recordings such as these?
