Kamoso shows only image from IR camera

I have a strange issue with Kamoso, KDE camera application, which shows only the image from IR camera of my laptop, although:

1) There is an option to select two different sources, but it doesn't change anything.

2) Other applications like OBS studio oraz VLC can easily change different sources and play the proper image form both of them.

These are my video sources

v4l2-ctl --list-devices
OBS Virtual Camera (platform:v4l2loopback-000):
        /dev/video4

FHD Camera: FHD Camera (usb-0000:00:14.0-3):
        /dev/video0
        /dev/video1
        /dev/video2
        /dev/video3
        /dev/media0
        /dev/media1

This is the proper camera showing "normal" image

mpv av://v4l2:/dev/video0
● Video  --vid=1  (rawvideo 1920x1080 5 fps)
[autoconvert] Converting yuyv422 -> yuv422p
VO: [gpu] 1920x1080 yuv422p

and this is the source for infra-red

mpv av://v4l2:/dev/video2
● Video  --vid=1  (rawvideo 640x360 15 fps)
VO: [gpu] 640x360 gray

I've done some research on the Internet, but haven't found a solution that works for me. Any ideas?

Maybe there is a new turret, or some walls have moved. Or perhaps someone has temporarily removed the floor under your bed."
