Zoom cannot detect Virtual Camera #49

Closed nonoymarte closed 3 years ago

Virtual camera not included in the video options in zoom.

Trying these on Ubuntu 20.04. My virtual camera is visible and working in Google meet.

zoom uses v4l to talk to the cameras, does your virtual camera expose a /dev/video* device ?

can you attach the two log files from ~/snap/zoom-client/current/.zoom/logs/ ? and also the full output of snap version

Yes, i use v4l2 using the ff command: sudo modprobe v4l2loopback devices=1 video_nr=99 card_label=VirtualCam exclusive_caps=1 on ls /dev/video* i get /dev/video0 /dev/video1 /dev/video2 /dev/video3 /dev/video99

snap version output snap 2.46.1+20.04 snapd 2.46.1+20.04 series 16 ubuntu 20.04 kernel 5.4.0-48-generic

zoom_stdout_stderr.log zoom-terminal.log

have you tried dropping exclusive_caps=1 from that line ?

i know for sure that zoom can handle v4l2loopback devices normally, so it should work:

Hi @ogra1,

Zoom can now detect Virtual Camera after removing exclusive_caps=1. Looks like I will have different configurations for v4l2loopback since having exclusive_caps=1 works with zoom but when removed disables detection in Google Meet.

Thanks

If you have a better workaround or handling, i would appreciate it as i work with both Google Meet and Zoom...

In the meantime, closing this ticket now. Thanks
