obs studio output plugin for Video4Linux2 device
Notice: OBS Studio 26.1
officially provides virtual cam support, and can be used without installing this plugin.
See issue (#56)
for more information.
An OBS Studio plugin that provides output capabilities to a Video4Linux2 device. It is basically a Linux version of obs-virtual-cam, but only contains the video sink part. You can use it with v4l2loopback to achieve cross-program video transfer between OBS Studio and third party software supporting Video4Linux2, e.g. to present an OBS session in proprietary browser-based conferencing systems by selecting the OBS session as a webcam.
The idea for this plugin originated from the discussions around obs-virtual-cam issue #17.
