menuconfig VIDEO_CAPTURE_DRIVERS
        bool "Video capture adapters"
        depends on VIDEO_V4L2
        default y
        ---help---
          Say Y here to enable selecting the video adapters for
          webcams, analog TV, and hybrid analog/digital TV.
          Some of those devices also supports FM radio.
