I am trying to create a Java Applet that runs the client’s webcam and take a picture with a button but I just couldn’t find a way to run the webcam in an applet. Does anyone out there know a simple way to achieve this?
Thanks.

The first problem is that the Applet needs the hardware permission. Applets have a SecurityManager which reads policy-files from the Java-Installation. As standart the is no permission to read from external devices like WebCams or the filesystem.
For you problem I think, you should use the Applet as loader of a JFrame or something else, which runs the Application.
For the webcam you can use OpenCV, which is also avaiable for C++, Android and .NET.
Hope it helped you 😉
