problem in displaying video stream window in face detection python

hey i just want some help this is my code but i do not know how to display the video using imshow or anyother method. it was working fine but as soon as i put all the code into processes it is running in chunks and secondly i am not able to display video. can someone please help me ? i do not know what i am doing wrong.

capture.release()

cv2.destroyAllWindows()

When everything is done, release the capture

capture.release() Scv2.destroyAllWindows()
