OBS Virtual Camera

Starting with OBS Studio 26.1, Virtual Camera support is integrated. The Start Virtual Camera button is located in the Controls pane, just below Start Recording.

Here's how to install and configure v4l2loopback which OBS uses:

sudo apt -y install v4l2loopback-dkms v4l2loopback-utils
echo 'options v4l2loopback devices=1 video_nr=13 card_label="OBS Virtual Camera" exclusive_caps=1' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/v4l2loopback.conf
echo "v4l2loopback" | sudo tee /etc/modules-load.d/v4l2loopback.conf
sudo modprobe -r v4l2loopback
sudo modprobe v4l2loopback devices=1 video_nr=13 card_label="OBS Virtual Camera" exclusive_caps=1

NOTE! Using video_nr greater than 64 will not work.

Additional plugins

If this install script doesn't include a plugin that you use, you can a download pre-compiled plugin and and extract it to ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins/.
