Configure OBSBOT webcams on Linux: AI tracking (human, group, hand), gesture control, gimbal joystick, mirror image, and image settings such as focus, exposure and white balance, with a live preview.
Settings are written to the camera itself, so they apply in every app that
uses it. Also includes a lightweight panel indicator (obscura.indicator)
for quick toggles during calls, and the obscura.obsbotctl command-line
tool.
Supported: OBSBOT Tiny SE. Other OBSBOT models get the standard webcam controls. Not affiliated with OBSBOT / Remo Tech.
After installing, connect the camera interface:
sudo snap connect obscura:camera
Optionally, to show the camera's USB product name, serial number and revision in the Device panel:
sudo snap connect obscura:hardware-observe
To call the CLI as plain obsbotctl:
sudo snap alias obscura.obsbotctl obsbotctl

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.
On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the Arch User Repository (AUR). The manual build process is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the prerequisites installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
If AppArmor is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
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 OBSCura, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install obscura
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
