In the place where I select what OBS will record, there is no option to monitor the video capture device. I'm using the following flags:
USE="alsa ssl truetype -fdk -imagemagick -jack -lua -nvenc -pulseaudio -python -speex -v4l -vlc" LUA_SINGLE_TARGET="luajit" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_8 -python3_7 -python3_9"

Yes probably the problem is v4l use flag disabled.

For reference:
equery u vlc:
 - - v4l                      : Enable support for video4linux (using linux-headers or
                                userspace libv4l libraries)
Generally, you want USE=v4l on any program that will be using video capture / recording type devices. In some cases, if the package has no other purpose, USE=v4l may not be available (and instead is effectively always enabled) since disabling it would make the package pointless.
