WHAT'S NEW:
[Update]:
• Use “Acquire webcam image” live task to interactively:
o Capture images from a USB Webcam.
o Setup and adjust the webcam properties.
o Generate equivalent MATLAB code in a live script.
For more information, refer to: https://in.mathworks.com/help/supportpkg/usbwebcams/ug/acquirewebcamimage.html
• Now create multiple connections to the same webcam. If a connection to the same webcam already exists in the workspace, MATLAB returns the existing webcam connection. Prior to R2020b, creating multiple connections to the same webcam resulted in an error.

Using release 2020a of MATLAB on Windows 10, can someone email me a copy of the zip file @brianpeoples10@gmail.com
Hello Francisco,
It seems like the support package installation is corrupted. Could you try a clean install by deleting the existing support package folder and reinstalling the support package again?

The webcam function NO LONGER WORKS. It did for many years. Now I get the following error message:
Warning: The following error was caught while executing

I am using Matlab 2019b on MacOS Catalina. I have tried to uninstall and then re-install the support package but still, I get the same error.
Also, I have checked for solutions online, but none seem to work. Finally, my camera is not being used by any other device -- I made sure of that.

If you are using webcam on Mojave and R2019b (and experiencing a crash), the fix will be coming as part of MATLAB Update 2 for R2019b on November 20th. You can follow the steps in the following bug report to temporarily solve the issue:

Thank you for demonstration
Hi
There is sth wrong and I can't download the package. Would you please send me file of this package? My email is abedi.cs@gmail.com . Thank you so much .
The downloadable file is now, I think, only in .mlpkginstall format which connects the server to download the support package. This means it can only run through add-on interface of MATLAB. When we leave our email address here, does MathWorks really share the zip version of the package?

Hello, I am trying to install the package but I am behind a restricted firewall and I can't install it. Please, send it to neo_psico@hotmail.com
I found a work-around for the download error that I and many others seem to have when trying to install from the 'Install' button.
I instead hit, the 'learn more' button which launches a new web-page. Then there is an 'Get support package' button which successfully installed for me.
Cheers.

Kinect camera is not supported with this toolbox

@Akhil how we will get camera snaphots with OS Generic interface
Because when I call camera line cam=webcam matlab is stopping
For those having issues with this package, try to download the 'support package for OS Generic Video Interface'.
I found the problem.
It looks like that this package cannot be installed properly with Matlab 2018a.
I successfully installed it on the same machine but with Matlab 2017b, instead.
The installation went through all the processes without any error message.
However, after completing the installation, it is still the same as no support package is installed.
It doesn't give me the green mark on the icon as other packages successfully installed on my computer.
Please give me assistance to solve this problem. Thank you in advance.

Hello,
What can I do if I have this error :
Invalid MEX-file
'C:\ProgramData\MATLAB\SupportPackages\R2017a\toolbox\matlab\webcam\supportpackages\webcammex.mexw64':
Missing dependent shared libraries:
'MF.dll' required by

Thank you !
For reference: if you encounter the failure information, try to set up a VPN, then login and find this package through Mathworks' main webpage(not the short cut in Matlab), then you will get an .mlpkginstall(e.g: OS X) file, open it, and you will get what you need.
Thank you very much !
