Use a GoPro as a USB webcam on Linux
This command-line helper turns a supported GoPro’s USB video into a Linux webcam device. Its default stream is 1080p at 30 fps.
Connect a HERO9–13 Black, install FFmpeg and v4l2loopback, and select the camera in your calling or streaming app. Use a separate microphone; the supplied automatic plug-in rule targets HERO8 and needs adjustment for later models.
