@jik@federate.social @Slater450413@infosec.exchange I am pretty sure you need to be part of the video group or superuser to access the video loopback devices on most Linux distros, but it probably varies across distributions.

@kraftnix@noc.social @jik@federate.social OK, just booted up real quick. Confirming I am in the "video" group with that standard user. That makes sense. Edit: and that the group permissions on all /dev/video* is also video.
