Linux-UVC (which may also be referred to as uvcvideo) is a kernel driver module meant to support any UVC compliant device.


Taken collectively, these are known as UVC Webcam Devices.

The Linux UVC device driver was included in the kernel as of 2.6.26.

  • The linux-uvc driver is V4L2-only. This means applications which support V4L1 only will not work. V4L1 is officially deprecated, and have been removed from the kernel recently, so most drivers have or will switch to V4L2 anyway.
