How can I view the captured content of my webcam on Linux/Raspberry? I dont want to share it, only view the content live on my monitor.

On windows Logitech has an official program where I can preview the content live. Windows has also the built-in camera program.

How does it work on Raspberry/Linux? I would like to buy the Logitech C922.

I have read recently a discussion about C922 here: Get h264 from Webcam Logitech C922 <- Will this thing affect my purpose/aims or it has no affect? (I did not fully understand that discussion)

assuming you are using RaspberryPi-OS with a graphical user interface and the screen is directly connected to the Pi via HDMI.

Just install VLC media player by typing

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y vlc

in the Pi's terminal.

Now, open VLC and go to Media -> Open Capture Device and select your videodevice.
