Thanksfully it is fairly easy to present a virtual webcam that is a composition of what your real physical webcam is showing and whatever background you want.





Can you give some pointers about this? I thought it's straight to kernel modules territory if I want a virtual webcam.

you can do it with ffmpeg but the most user friendly way is to use obs.

I used that back in the days in 2019 / early 2020 when it was not yet possible to share your screen on msteams under wayland in chrome and firefox.


Thanks!
