v4l2 device missing for OBS virtual cam (actually starting the camera is ok)

I start OBS virtual camera perfectly ok, however, it does not show up in any application.

I checked the following command, and see that there's no obs virtual cam v4l2 device:

Code: 
❯ v4l2-ctl --list-devices

Iriun Webcam (platform:v4l2loopback-000):

        /dev/video0


Logitech Webcam C925e (usb-0000:0d:00.3-4.4.2):

        /dev/video1

        /dev/video2

        /dev/media0


How can I add the v4l2 device so that the obs virtual camera actually shows up in applications?

Additional info:

Code: 
EndeavourOS (Arch based), KDE Wayland

❯ paru -Q | grep v4l2loopback
v4l2loopback-dc-dkms 1:2.1.3-2
v4l2loopback-dkms 0.14.0-1
v4l2loopback-utils 0.14.0-1

❯ paru -Q | grep obs-
droidcam-obs-plugin-bin 2.3.4-1
obs-backgroundremoval-git 1.2.0.r7.b86bf8b-1
obs-studio-git 31.0.3.r244.g235be8c-1

OBS uses the first v4l2loopback device it finds. In your case the Iriun device. If you would want to use both at the same time you need to manualyl create two devices and make Iriun use the seconday as OBS will pick the primary.
