i want to use Iriun Webcam and OBS Virtual Camera on Linux mint
i installed Iriun Webcam (v2.8.2) from the Official .deb package
and OBS (v27.2.3+dfsg1-1) from Software Manger

Since OBS Virtual Camera is not in a Working State by Default
i Followed these Steps i found on the internet
  • installing the v4l2loopback
    sudo apt install v4l2loopback
    sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) v4l2loopback-dkmsCommnad Src YT Video
  • Then Loading it
    sudo rmmod vl2loopback
  • Then some Guy on Youtube said to Compile vl2loopback from source so i did that without releasing i just installed one. silly me. after that, i got a v4l2loopback.ko and ran this sudo modprobe v4l2loopback
  • Then installed a Plugin for OBS Called obs-v4l2sink from a .deb Package in the Release Page.
    on the Github Repo, also in the readme it says OBS Studio 26.1 officially provides virtual cam support, and can be used without installing this plugin., but that doesn't seem to be true (need your Thoughts).
  • Now i Launched up OBS. Iriun Webcam & Zoom to test
    and i saw just 2 options in the Camera Input of Zoom
  • Iriun Webcam
    was Black even though Paired with a SmartPhone and the feed was showing in the Iriun Webcam Window
  • Integrated Webcam
    was giving the feed from the Built in Camera on my Laptop
no idea where to go Now :(
