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.
If you’re running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) or later, including Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.
For versions of Ubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include snap by default, snap can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for snapd.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
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.
