I solved it. Disable Secure Boot I reinstalled v4l2loopback

sudo apt install v4l2loopback-utils v4l2loopback-dkms cmake nasm yasm pkg-config libgtk2.0-dev
sudo modprobe v4l2loopback
v4l2-ctl --list-devices     # check if you have dummy video devices
Dummy video device (0x0000) (platform:v4l2loopback-000):

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
