I'm using the v4l2sink plugin to stream into v4l2loopback and tell google Meet/zoom/whatever "hey, dummy 0x00002 is my webcam".


same here it works well and I use it to do share screen with my video on it and stuff like that. the only thing is that many video places are degrading video so much that text is impossible to read (zoom for example). I wish they would allow the use of the same encoding they use for share in these cases... another way is to have a single virtual window shared but it doesn't work well with wayland for example which made me wish about the ability to have a virtual screen managed by OBS.


What distro? Nobody I know has been able to make that work!


Works for me on Ubuntu 18.04.


I did this on Arch as well.


Ubuntu 18.04
