I noticed that my webcam wasn’t working and I thought maybe it had some driver missing.

(base) bob@bob:~
$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0c45:6363 Microdia USB 2.0 Camera

so I created a probe using linux-hardware.org app image and it found that I had this hardware component that wasn’t working. https://linux-hardware.org/?id=usb:0c45-6363 and it also has this in the website

Now, I searched for this exact keyword and found this driver lying around a little known guy’s repository called linux.

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/media/usb/uvc/uvc_driver.c

Now, I don’t know how to install it. So, how do I install this?

    It was troubleshooting, but it looks like the package I had you install was what was missing. The first thing in your screenshot references it so there must be something in there you needed.

    I would guess the ‘virtual camera’ has something to do with the unchecked 'advanced effects mode ’

    Glad to be of help. 😁
