A FRAME OF YOUR OWN
Less improvising.
More control.
From the camera image to the output for your calls: adjustments brought together in a GTK application, made for Linux.
Choose what is visible
Blur the room or use a PNG or JPEG as your background. Segmentation happens on this computer. Your video is never sent to a processing service.
Bring it to your calls
Save your settings in profiles and send the image to a virtual camera with v4l2loopback. Select that output in applications that support V4L2 cameras.
YOUR COMPUTER IS THE STUDIO
Your computer
does the work.
Enquadra processes framing and backgrounds locally. Your chosen meeting application controls video transmission. This website has no analytics, tracking or access to your camera.
- Local processingYuNet for face detection; PP-HumanSeg for background segmentation. The models are included with the project.

START ON LINUX
From download
to your frame.
This is an alpha release. Features and compatibility are still evolving. Read the instructions before using it on an important call.
Download for LinuxHardware validated: Brio 500 (046d:0943), Ubuntu 26.04.1.
Ubuntu 24.04 is a candidate, without hardware validation.
Download and verify the package
Download the .deb and compare its SHA-256 checksum against the file from the same release.

In the directory where you saved the package, run:
sudo apt install ./enquadra_0.1.0.alpha1_all.debOpen and prepare the virtual output
Select your camera and start the preview. To use the output in calls, configure v4l2loopback by following the guide; this step requires administrator authentication.
Read the installation and virtual camera guide ↗
Secure Boot may require signing and enrolling the module. Virtual camera setup is an explicit step; installing the package does not guarantee an active module.
BEFORE YOUR FIRST CALL
Good to know.
Does it work with any camera?
Hardware validation was performed with the Logitech Brio 500 (046d:0943). Other V4L2 cameras may expose different controls and are not promised compatible yet. Ubuntu 24.04 also awaits hardware validation.
Is this Logitech RightSight?
Enquadra automatic framing runs in local software, using face detection and digital cropping. It is not the camera’s native RightSight. HDR and proprietary controls are not provided.
What about desk rotation (Show Mode)?
Automatic rotation when tilting the Brio was observed by the user as firmware behavior. Enquadra does not offer a proprietary control to turn Show Mode on or off.
Why do I need a virtual camera?
It makes the cropped image and selected background available to other applications. Output uses v4l2loopback, a kernel module that needs configuration. Your calling application must accept the V4L2 camera and may require its own permission.
What does alpha mean?
This release is still in development and may have bugs or behavioral changes. Validation is limited to the hardware and system listed here. Check the release notes and report issues in the repository.
A good frame starts with control.
Try it, read the code, help build it.
