on Terminal.
For virtual camera support, you need the v4l2loopback-dkms module installed. You can install it with the following command:
Debian/Ubuntu-based:
sudo apt install v4l2loopback-dkms
Red Hat/Fedora-based:
sudo dnf install kmod-v4l2loopback
Arch Linux-based/Manjaro:
You will need to install the kernel headers package of your actual kernel beforehand or the module will not be completely installed.
sudo pacman -Sy v4l2loopback-dkms

The Flatpak distribution is recommended for non-Ubuntu distributions.
