Set it up

  1. Install the .deb, or run the AppImage

    sudo apt install ./camlane-desktop-linux-x86_64.deb on Debian and Ubuntu; on other distributions, make the AppImage executable and run it.

  2. Load v4l2loopback

    Install v4l2loopback and load it with exclusive_caps=1. Camlane shows the exact command if it's missing, including the Secure Boot step.

  3. Connect your phone

    Pick “Camlane Camera” and “Camlane Microphone” in your app. The microphone appears by itself on PipeWire and PulseAudio.
