Fujifilm has announced new firmware updates for the X100V, X-T30 and X-Pro3 that add support for Fujifilm X Webcam functionality, among other performance enhancements. The updates will be available from 17th February.
The new firmware updates for each camera include:

*1 This upgrade does not provide the capability to make adjustments to camera settings from a tethered computer. - Use the built-in ND filter in the video mode
The built-in ND filter can now also be used in video mode, while recording video, which will let image makers use wide apertures in bright light or slower shutter speeds. - 4.Set the Position of the Bright Frame to its Shifted Location
