**Connecting Interfaces**
For the best experience, you'll want to connect the following

sudo snap connect obs-studio:audio-record
sudo snap connect obs-studio:avahi-control
sudo snap connect obs-studio:camera
sudo snap connect obs-studio:jack1
sudo snap connect obs-studio:kernel-module-observe
**NDI**
If you want to use the NDI plugin you'll need to connect the
Avahi Control interface.
snap connect obs-studio:avahi-control
**Virtual Camera**
Starting with OBS 26.1.0, Virtual Camera support is integrated.
Here's how to install and configure `v4l2loopback`:
sudo snap connect obs-studio:kernel-module-observe
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.
**Removable Storage**
To access content on external storage, connect to the
removable-media plug:
snap connect obs-studio:removable-media
**gPhoto**
The gPhoto plugin allows some DSLR cameras to be connected via
USB. You'll need to connect the Raw USB interface.
snap connect obs-studio:raw-usb

to
`~/snap/obs-studio/current/.config/obs-studio/plugins/`.
