You can get a free Support Package for your webcam by typing:
webcam
in the Command Window. In recent MATLAB versions, this throws an error and gives you a link to the webcam Support Package for your operating system and MATLAB version.
If this doesn’t work (you have an earlier MATLAB version), see the documentation for Supported Hardware for your OS and MATLAB version.

Thank you,but it's working for pictures only not for videos.

My pleasure.
It does support videos. See the documentation for Logging Video to Disk for details. (This documentation is for R2016a, so you need to determine if it can be used in earlier releases, since there could be version differences.)
That code creates a series of still frames saved to an .avi file, but then to the best of my knowledge, all videos are created that way.

You can use the Image Acquisition Toolbox if you have access to it.
