Virtual Webcam (Linux)

Why?

To have fun, stream a movie or just attend a meeting while streaming a previous recorded video showing me as attentive as possible. I'm such a nice subordinate…

HowTo

Installation

# zypper install v4l2loopback-utils v4l2loopback-autoload v4l2loopback-kmp-default

Anlegen eines Devices

Das macht das Kernelmodul per default:

# v4l2-ctl --list-devices
OBS Virtual Camera (platform:v4l2loopback-000):
        /dev/video0

Integrated Camera: Integrated C (usb-0000:06:00.4-3):
        /dev/video1
        /dev/video2
        /dev/video3
