I tried to install Droidcam on Ubuntu 22.04 following instructions on https://www.dev47apps.com/droidcam/linux/ but when I open it this error pops up : Droidcam/v4l2loopback device not found(/dev/video[0-9]).Did it install correctly? If you had a kernel update, you may need to re-install. I uninstalled and reinstalled it but the same error keeps coming up. when I try to connect to my phone with it an error pops up saying "missing video device" Any help will be appreciated.

To install v4l2loopback:

sudo apt-get install linux-generic
sudo apt-get install v4l2loopback-dkms
sudo modprobe v4l2loopback

Got the solution from here modprobe v4l2loopback fails on Ubuntu

During the install of v4l2loopback-dkms I had to do the 'Enroll MOK' process (it guided me automatically).

After this I uninstalled and reinstalled Droidcam and the webcam was registered with no error

  • I am also using Ubuntu 22.04 and had this exact same error message come up. The solution provided by Bodena indeed worked for me. Thanks Bodena. – chrisptacos84 Oct 24 '22 at 16:16
