Le phrojekthi ihlose ukuhlinzeka ngesixhumi esibonakalayo esilula sokuthwebula nokubuka ividiyo kusuka kumadivayisi we-v4l2, ngokugcizelela okukhethekile komshayeli we-linux uvc. Iphrojekthi inikeza isixhumi esibonakalayo sokulawula esisekelwe ku-Gtk3 noma i-Qt5, kuye ngokucushwa kokwakha. Inketho ye-console kuphela iyatholakala. Ungasebenzisa futhi i-guvcview enewindi lokulawula kuphela, (kusuka ku-console: guvcview -control_only), lokhu kuvumela ukulawula isithombe kwezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza, njenge-ekiga, ushizi, i-mplayer, i-skype, ... Umsindo. Ukusekelwa komsindo we-Guvcview kungakhethwa kuma-API amabili: i-portaudio noma i-pulseaudio (uma itholakala) Zonke izixhumanisi (ALSA, OSD, JACK, …) ezisekelwa i-portaudio kufanele zitholakale ku-guvcview. Vele uqiniseke ukuthi i-portaudio ihlanganiswe nezixhumi ezibonakalayo ezidingekayo zinikwe amandla.
