# Generic webcams
If the operating system is Linux, edit `mediamtx.yml` and replace everything inside section `paths` with the following content:
```yml
paths:
cam:
runOnInit: ffmpeg -f v4l2 -i /dev/video0 -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -preset ultrafast -b:v 600k -f rtsp rtsp://localhost:$RTSP_PORT/$MTX_PATH
runOnInitRestart: yes
```
If the operating system is Windows:
```yml
paths:
cam:
runOnInit: ffmpeg -f dshow -i video="USB2.0 HD UVC WebCam" -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -preset ultrafast -b:v 600k -f rtsp rtsp://localhost:$RTSP_PORT/$MTX_PATH
runOnInitRestart: yes
```
Where `USB2.0 HD UVC WebCam` is the name of a webcam, that can be obtained with:
```sh
ffmpeg -list_devices true -f dshow -i dummy
```
The resulting stream will be available on path `/cam`.
