Description

Adds DKMS sources for a virtual Video4Linux loopback device, allowing software to create camera-like video devices. It is useful for virtual webcams, streaming workflows, screen capture routing, and test video pipelines.

This is a kernel module package, not a normal app. Virtual cameras can expose generated or captured video to applications, so users should understand which apps can access the created devices.
