Stream Webcam with VLC | How can I stream video from my webcam in Linux? One way is to use VLC! VLC can make a stream accessible over http, for one example. On the streaming computer, make sure first that a webcam or video device is connected. Then issue this command from the terminal: vlc “v4l2://” –v4l-vdev=”/dev/video” –v4l-adev=”/dev/null” –sout #transcode{vcodec=theo,vb=256}:standard{access=http,mux=ogg,dst=:1234}”
