How To Fix v4l2loopback / OBS Virtual Camera Not Working With Jitsi

This is a simple fix, but to save you time searching reddit here it is.

For Jitsi to work and detect it you need to set exclusive_caps=1

So:

sudo modprobe -r v4l2loopback 
sudo modprobe v4l2loopback exlusive_caps=1

or for persistant past reboots config:

edit or add: /etc/modprobe.d/v4l2loopback.conf

add line: options v4l2loopback exclusive_caps=1

This is also a fix for video calling in Element

Hope this helped!
