Webcam access from JavaFx

Does the latest JavaFx version support streaming webcam video? Is it possible to get it through JMF in fx?

Almost 7 years later from when the question was asked and there still isn't 'native' JavaFX support for displaying a stream from a webcam (as far as I am aware).

However I managed to achieve it using the OpenCV library and displaying into an ImageView. It's probably inefficient but OpenCV gives you the possibilities of processing the 'stream' too. Although all one might want to do is just display the stream, not modify it.

It doesn't seem you can do it yet, see e.g. this recent post.

However, there seems to be several examples of using JMF to be able to at least capture an image. You might also try JNA.
