Unable to use webcam in MS Teams #94

Closed m-s-20 closed 3 years ago

Hi there,

So I've set everything up as per the wiki and replaced the backgrounds with my own.

I can run both the scripts and when I do: ffplay /dev/video2 I can see my live camera with the background applied.

The problem comes when I try to use this in Microsoft teams, without the scripts running I can see my webcam normally in teams, but once the scripts are running I cannot see it as the device is busy.

I think it's to do with the virtual video device as video0 is the physical camera which becomes busy and video2 is the virtual camera which teams has no option for.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

(running on ubuntu 20.04)

using the official MS teams preview, not that other version that's on snap.
