I use Ubuntu 9.10. I'm looking for a software like Procaster that allows me to record and broadcas my desktop to a web-site like UStream, Justin TV, LiveStream. Procaster supports Windows and Mac only. Is there something similar thaw works on Linux?

thanks

Freeware open source WebCamStudio (GNU/Linux) allows to create a virtual web-cam, that can be used:

to broadcast (stream) your desktop (with your webcam)
as a virtual web-cam (useful when your web cam is not supported by flash on a web-site)
to add video effect to your web-cam

WebcamStudio is compatible with Flash sites.

When you use a web-site that allows to broadcast live videos (like UStream, LiveStream) select the "vloopback module" option.
