    Thanks for this.

    This gives me a “Start virtual camera” button. When I click it I am prompted to enter my password. And that’s it. Nothing changes. I still have a “Start virtual camera” button, no stop button. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

      try these commands from the OBS website

      Virtual Camera

      Starting with OBS 26.1.0, Virtual Camera support is integrated. Here’s how to install and configure v4l2loopback:

      sudo snap connect obs-studio:kernel-module-observe
      sudo apt -y install v4l2loopback-dkms v4l2loopback-utils
      echo “options v4l2loopback devices=1 video_nr=13 card_label=’OBS Virtual Camera’ exclusive_caps=1” | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/v4l2loopback.conf
      echo “v4l2loopback” | sudo tee /etc/modules-load.d/v4l2loopback.conf
      sudo modprobe -r v4l2loopback
      sudo modprobe v4l2loopback devices=1 video_nr=13 card_label=’OBS Virtual Camera’ exclusive_caps=1

        Be aware that in this post the single and double quotes have been ‘prettified’ so if you copy/paste the lines from here, before you hit enter, edit the command line and delete all quotes then put them back in using your keyboard. If you don’t do this, your virtual camera will be called just ‘OBS

          Are you referring to this post, or a post I linked to? I’m not using any single or double quotes in my post.
