UVC for webcam

Will there be an update to support uvc to allow the device as a pnp webcam?
uvc = USB Video Class
i found this app via https://gitlab.com/fdroid/rfp/-/issues/1747 , and this pnp webcam was the first thing that came in my mind. thanks for opening this issue @the-psychedelic . i remember this feature was avalable in old feature phones, and i guess old android phones as well (kitkat/lolipop probably) and i miss this feature a lot sometimes

I can add UVC config for USB Gadget. But I guess there needs to be some additional app on the phone, so the device camera is forwarding it to the USB Gadget device?! Or do you have any information on how this can work?

No I really have no information on how it would work. That is why I was hoping if you could help me. And what app should I use, then?
I added the UVC camera function profile in the latest 0.4-beta version. Of course, your kernel needs to have this enabled (config_usb_configfs_f_uvc)
Unfortunately, I was not able to test it yet. For testing it, you will need some userspace app, e.g. you could try https://git.ideasonboard.org/uvc-gadget.git or https://github.com/jerome2016/Android_USB_UVC_Camera.
