Hello K.

sorry for the late response :(

Here are the steps I was able to found for Ubuntu:

#### Create fake video device
```
sudo modprobe v4l2loopback max_buffers=2 devices=1 video_nr=21
exclusive_caps=1 card_label="Virtual Webcam"
```

#### Create stream from **Image**
```
sudo ffmpeg -stream_loop -1 -re -i
~/Downloads/om/img/IMG_20210207_135607.jpg -pix_fmt yuv420p -vcodec
rawvideo -f v4l2 /dev/video21
```

#### Create stream from **Video**
```
sudo ffmpeg -stream_loop -1 -re -i ~/Downloads/om/video/Avengers2.mp4
-pix_fmt yuv420p -vcodec rawvideo -f v4l2 /dev/video21
```

#### Clean everything up

1. Stop ffmpeg process
2. `sudo modprobe -r v4l2loopback`


Will update documentation with these steps with next release
