I am running Ubuntu GNOME 15.04 and I find Cheese very basic, are there any alternatives (I have already read this Anything better than Cheese for video capture?, however that is only really on video recording, and I would like a balance)?

Specifically, I would like an application which can:

  • Record from the webcam
  • Take pictures
  • Record audio
  • Take screencasts (audio recording included in that as well)

Is there a program that can do all this?
