Nice. I suppose mounting the output as a virtual camera isn't supported yet?

What do you mean exactly? OBS can create a fake webcam, and I don't see why that would be related to wayland.

In windows yes, I've never had luck under linux myself.

I use the virtual camera on linux daily. No problem. But I had to install later packages that weren't on apt.

hm, I've used it using v4l2loopback and while finding the right parameters was a bit fiddly it then worked fine.

yep, can second the needing to fiddle a bit-- i've had some pretty annoying color issues as well, where i fix white balance, etc. in OBS, but the output in Hangouts/etc. looks terrible, like it's ignoring the filtering i'm doing, or there's a pixel format issue or something

It's built into 26.1 rather than requiring the plugin (which I could never get to work for me under linux), although if installed via snap you have to enable v4l2loopback manually

Should work fine, I've done it recently. Just make sure you have the latest version, and the v4l2loopback kernel module installed.
