I worked around this is Jitsi (it has background blur but not |
| 12 |
replacement) by using OBS Studio, which does all this and much, much |
| 13 |
more. With the plugin from media-video/obs-v4l2sink it creates a new |
| 14 |
"camera" with its output. That's a standard-looking /dev/videoX device |
| 15 |
and can be used with any software. |

It's a bit of a sledgehammer to crack a nut just to get background |
| 18 |
replacement bit it works well and I already had it installed from |
| 19 |
something else. |
