Description

Virtual camera devices can be created so applications see generated or redirected video as a normal webcam. This is useful for screen casting, OBS workflows, testing video apps, and routing camera output.

The package builds a DKMS kernel module from git source. Virtual cameras can expose video to apps, and kernel module problems can affect system stability, so use trusted pipelines and keep kernel updates in mind.
