#### Enable backends #### How to enable backends
Backends are available only if they have been built with your OpenCV binaries. There are two kinds of videoio backends: built-in backends and plugins which will be loaded at runtime (since OpenCV 4.1.0). Use functions cv::videoio_registry::getBackends, cv::videoio_registry::hasBackend and cv::videoio_registry::getBackendName to check actual presence of backend during runtime.
Check in `opencv2/cvconfig.h` to know which APIs are currently available To enable built-in videoio backends:
(e.g. `HAVE_MSMF, HAVE_V4L2`, etc...). 1. Enable corresponding CMake option, e.g. `-DWITH_GSTREAMER=ON`
2. Rebuild OpenCV
To enable/disable APIs, you have to: To enable dynamically-loaded videoio backend (currently supported: GStreamer and FFmpeg on Linux, MediaSDK on Linux and Windows):
1. re-configure OpenCV using appropriates CMake switches 1. Enable backend and add it to the list of plugins: `-DWITH_GSTREAMER=ON -DVIDEOIO_PLUGIN_LIST=gstreamer` CMake options
(e.g. `-DWITH_MSMF=ON -DWITH_DSHOW=ON ... `) or checking related switch in cmake-gui 2. Rebuild OpenCV
2. rebuild OpenCV itself 3. Check that `libopencv_videoio_gstreamer.so` library exists in the `lib` directory
@note Don't forget to clean CMake cache when switching between these two modes
