I would like to use a simulated webcam on Genymotion. I have installed v4l2loopback on my Ubuntu Desktop and it works fine (on a webpage or Cheese) but the camera is not available on Genymotion.

Perhaps because the camera is using a v4l2 driver ? Or is there some precise spec (pixel format, colors ...) to adjust ?

Thanks :)

I just tried using the DroidCam as a camera but it doesn't worked for me, but according this issue on the v4l2loopback's repository, the Genymotion have support to v4l2 cameras:

Under Windows the driver can only be openCV, and it's slow. However under Linux you should be able to use v4l2loopback because we use API v4l2 to read the camera video stream.

So to have a good performance we recommend using Linux with v4l2loopback instead of Windows with openCV, but we cannot guaranty that because have have never conducted any tests on that kind of user case.
