 # obs-v4l2sink
 
-This plugin provides output ability to v4l2 device . It is basically a Linux version of [obs-virtual-cam](https://github.com/CatxFish/obs-virtual-cam), but only contains the video sink part. You can use it with [v4l2loopback](https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback) to achieve cross-program image transfer between obs-studio and third party software supporting Video4Linux. 
+An [OBS Studio][obs-proj] plugin that provides output capabilities to a
+Video4Linux2 device. It is basically a Linux version of [obs-virtual-cam][vcam],
+but only contains the video sink part. You can use it with
+[v4l2loopback][v4l2loopback] to achieve cross-program video transfer between OBS
+Studio and third party software supporting Video4Linux2, e.g. to present an OBS
+session in proprietary browser-based conferencing systems by selecting the OBS
+session as a webcam.
+
+The idea for this plugin originated from the discussions around [obs-virtual-cam
+issue #17][vcam#17].
