Virtual camera not recognized by chrome, discord

I'm using OBS 28.0.1 on ubuntu 22.04
I can see the virtual camera in Firefox/gather-town.
Chrome and discord cannot see the camera.
Log attached

thanks

Ha! Found the problem.

I needed to add 'exclusive_caps=1' to modprobe

sudo modprobe v4l2loopback video_nr=2 card_label="VirtualCamera" exclusive_caps=1

I hope this helps someone.

I made an account here for the sole purpose to thank you. This has been an issue for me for months now. I appreciate you documenting the solution.

I too made an account here just to thank you. I have been trying a lot to figure out this issue, even the leading LLM of the day could not sort out this issue for me (in fact it suggested something that was totally the opposite of the solution). After adding 'exclusive_caps=1' chrome was able to detect the virtual webcam.
