Kamoso

What Kamoso is

Kamoso is a free Linux desktop program for taking webcam pictures and recording video. Users can also upload captured photos and videos to the Internet for sharing. KDE offers installation through Discover, other AppStream stores, or a Linux distribution’s package manager; Kamoso is also available on Flathub for x86_64 and aarch64. The KDE Applications page lists it under GPL-2.0+ and identifies KDE as the organization behind the program. KDE links to the Kamoso handbook and KDE Community Forums for help, as well as to bug reporting and a list of reported bugs. KDE’s general software privacy statement says end-user information is not transferred from devices except after an explicit user action. It also notes that third-party distributors may modify software in ways that affect compliance with that policy. Kamoso is listed as free, with a free plan and no free trial.
