Longish thread here [https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/trying-to-use-an-android-phone-as-webcam/21963](https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/trying-to-use-an-android-phone-as-webcam/21963)

No resolution it appears but it does look like a ubuntu kernel issue

Looks like the issue is that the module it is trying to insert into the kernel is unsigned … you are most probably booting with secure boot enabled
