SUMMARY
Webcamoid (9.2.3-1) installed in Kubuntu 25.04 fails to launch.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install webcamoid: sudo apt install webcamoid
2. Launch Webcamoid from Applications
3. Application Icon appears for a few seconds then disappears and app doesn't launch

OBSERVED RESULT
Application Icon appears briefly, but app fails to launch. Launching from the CLI shows this pertinent output before execution halts:

EXPECTED RESULT
Application should launch.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.3.6
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.6
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0
Qt Version: 6.8.3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Google search on:

Webcamoid warning: qrc:/Webcamoid/share/qml/VideoOutputs.qml:24:1: module "Qt.labs.settings" is not installed

finds this:

Debian Bug report logs #1089101 webcamoid: Webcamoid fails to run (https://bugs-devel.debian.org/cgi-bi...gi?bug=1089101)

In that report, the 'fix' is to:

apt install qml6-module-qt-labs-settings

I did this and the application now launches and runs as expected.

Webcamoid isn't a KDE app. Please report this to the Kubuntu folks.
