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.
Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.
You need first add the snappy repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.
Tumbleweed:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
Leap 15.x:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
If needed, Swap out openSUSE_Leap_15. for, openSUSE_Leap_16.0 if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.
With the repository added, import its GPG key:
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new snappy repository:
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
Snap can now be installed with the following:
sudo zypper install snapd
You then need to either reboot, logout/login or source /etc/profile to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the snapd and the snapd.apparmor services with the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
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.
