Freeze a virtual camera using a hotkey. Made specifically to freeze a webcam during video calls on Linux.

• Python 3
• v4l2loopback (and a virtual camera)

Note: This project uses the keyboard package which requires root privileges to work.

sudo venv/bin/python -m ensurepip

sudo venv/bin/python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Note: This will use /dev/video0 as the virtual camera and '#' as the hotkey.
