I have installed the snap version of OBS Studio, and followed the instructions on this webpage: https://snapcraft.io/obs-studio
I want to use the virtual camera option to blur my background in other applications like Zoom/MS Teams etc.
(I also like the idea of doing more professional presentations with a welcome screen etc.)
The first time installing v4l2loopback-dkms resulted in an error:
dkms can't load "/var/lib/shim-signed/mok/.rnd" into rng
After removing it, and installing it again, it installed without issue.
snap connections obs-studio seems to show that the connections are fine.

OBS Studio starts just fine, however I see no webcam as a source, nor the option to use the virtual camera in the tools menu.
When I start OBS Studio in the terminal I do get two errors:
info: [Move Transition] loaded version 2.4.3
error: os_dlopen(libnvidia-fbc.so.1->libnvidia-fbc.so.1): libnvidia-fbc.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

No clue if that has something to do with it.
Any ideas on how to fix this are greatly appreciated, because I am out of ideas. :)
---UPDATE---
I just installed the deb package version and it does pick up both the webcam and the virtual camera output.
