The playbook is meant to run on a brand new installation of Raspbian that has not had any configuration changes via raspi-config or any other tools, though it should work correctly with an existing installation. I published a video in November 2020 detailing how to set up your Pi Webcam using this project. It even works on another Raspberry Pi (I've tested it on a Pi 4 and Pi 400). It works on Mac, Windows, and all the flavors of Linux I've tested so far. Bingo! Webcam usable in any software (Zoom, Teams, Meet, OBS, QuickTime, etc.).What does that mean? Well, after running the playbook: This Ansible playbook can be run on most Raspberry Pis to set it up as a USB webcam. Inspired by David Hunt's blog post showing how to use a Raspberry Pi Zero with a Pi Camera as a USB Webcam, as well as justinschuldt's gist, I wanted to make my Raspberry Pi do the same thing, but automated and with all the scripts wrapped in version control, since the blog post was a little bit vague in some areas.
