I installed guvcview, when I try to record a video, it records my voice and one single image. It does not record all the frames (images). How to solve this?

    Don't use guvcview, use cheese: apt install cheese.

    Cheese comes by default in Ubuntu 16. I prefer guvcview because it has better options

Change video codec setting



Try changing the video codec guvcview is using to H.264. To do that, start guvcview, open the Video menu, then Video Codec, then MPEG4-AVC (H264). With this it should correctly record.
