Worth a try compiling a custom version after adding to https://github.com/knro/libgphoto2/blob/master/camlibs/canon... Hopefully it's as easy as that.

I'm able to pipe gphoto2 frames to a pipewire sink or v4l2 device and it works great for making my Canon EOS 250D into a webcam.

This looks great!

One thing I would like to see in the README is how this project differs from other popular similar projects such as "Upptime" which is already mentioned in the "Inspired from" section.

Slack calls didn't used to work on Firefox even if you bypassed their user-agent block.

In recent months, after bypassing the user-agent check, calls will at least work albeit not very well. (bit laggy, long connection time)

Yes! Scaling was a nightmare for me on X11 since I have a high resolution laptop screen and then a lower resolution external monitor. I switched to Sway and scaling, switching monitors etc. was so much simpler and just worked.

Could you explain what the star configuration is please? I'm not familiar with it and am currently assuming that just means cables to each wall from the ceiling.

Star network topology:

Each endpoint connects directly to the hub, rather than as a ring, daisy-chain, tree, or mesh.
