horaloca is a passive, tongue-in-cheek utility for remote workers in highly distributed teams. It taps your physical webcam, burns a highly readable local-time-and-timezone badge into the corner of the feed, and republishes it as a virtual webcam that Zoom, Google Meet, Slack and other apps can select — a gentle reminder to colleagues that it's the middle of the night for you.
IMPORTANT — virtual camera prerequisite: Because snaps run confined and cannot load kernel modules, you must install and load the v4l2loopback module on the host first:
sudo apt install v4l2loopback-dkms
sudo modprobe v4l2loopback video_nr=10
card_label="horaloca Virtual Camera" exclusive_caps=1
See the project README for making this persistent across reboots.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap is available for CentOS 7.6+, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6+, from the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository. The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command:
sudo yum install epel-release
Snap can now be installed as follows:
sudo yum install snapd
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install horaloca, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install horaloca --edge
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
