The camera icon at the right of the viewer toolbar with the 'Capture' tooltip?

Perhaps this is in reference to one of the Android apps?

Are you referring to this camera?

If so, could you please post your question in the 'XnView Family' -- 'Mobile: XnView PhotoFx, XnRetro, XnSketch, ...' section of the forum lower down...

Ah...

I'm sorry but the 'Capture' icon referred to above is for taking images of the computer screen in various ways, to make a screenshot like the ones I've used above...

I can't immediately suggest I simple way of capturing an image from your webcam although there probably is one using some other software utility. I keep my webcam turned off! You could try Googling something like 'capture webcam image' or maybe someone else knows of a way?

Hello,
FI: On some laptops or eepc (ex: asus msi U123) you need to activate first your camera ... (here by keys: Fn+F6) ... then use a software to capture the photo/video (the manufacturer usually provide a such software, and up to date camera drivers)... Please see you laptop notice or documentation first to try your laptop camera... then if it's work ... you can make a try within xnview.
