Description

V4L2 camera applications can be routed through PipeWire with an interceptor layer. This helps older video applications work with PipeWire-managed cameras and desktop portal flows.

It is camera compatibility infrastructure. Video capture affects privacy, so review which applications can access cameras and test behavior after enabling it.
