built-in webcam

> How can I check if it detects my webcam?

at the Konsole, try:

mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l

Or if you want e.g. 800x600 picture, try:

mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l -vop scale=800


Certainly, you need to install mplayer, which is available, if you
enable universe/multiverse repositories at /etc/apt/sources.list
Then install mplayer and its codecs.

Usually webcam is device like /dev/video0
If you have also TV-card at the same time, then there might be webcam
as /dev/video1, etc.
