      I tried the fix specified in here https://forums.opera.com/post/205840 but didn't work.
      When I attempted to update the component, getting a message says, "Component not updated".
      I am using Opera Developer with the version of 69.0.3673.0

        Think that only works for Windows. Widevine doesn't show up in opera://components on Linux (at least not for me in Linux Mint). You just have to make things are installed right.

            @burnout426 I've tried to do following but couldn't edit the content of opera installation folder.
            I am using Ubuntu and installed Opera by using snap. Is there workaround?

              @aintab Oh, nailed it. Found opera-developer's apt package and installed it.
              Then I ran command chmod 777 for opera-developer folder and paste the libffmpeg.so file. It worked.

              Thanks for your help @burnout426
