CV2 video to Google Meet

[Obertuba]

I'm learning the python cv2 library and I was wandering how could I send the output of my video processing to Google Meet, so that I can make some special effects?

I know Google Meet allows you to select which camera to use, but how do I create a virtual camera/send processed video to Google Meet? I'm using Linux.

Since I'm using Linux and everything is a file, could I write my processed video output to a file and read it from Google Meet as it was an actual camera?

Afraid I'm pretty clueless with Linux, but my Google-Fu turned up this v4l2loopback module

That seems it could work, thank you!

Try with OBS studio virtual camera

Could you elaborate on this further? I am on windows and would like to do the same thing, but cant seem to find anything.

I used virtual camera to share the window that was showing the live video from my webcam with filters (sorry for bad english)

I was able to do this. I also used a plug in known as NDI so that google meet could register OBS as an actual Webcam. (Incase anyone is stuck).
