scrcpy client as virtual webcam driver

[dfdiaza]

First of all... I would like to say thanks to scrcpy creators. I am in love with scrcpy, my life's history can be resumed as: before scrcpy and after scrcpy. Thanks so much!

However, I think it would be a nice feature to scrcpy client act as a Windows "Virtual Webcam". I am not talking about displaying the Phone Cameras, but the frames displayed into the client's window. It would be something similar what DroidCam, vCam (e2esoft) and OBS-VirtualCam do, all of them create a "Virtual Webcam Driver" which we can use as any other regular webcam.

Would it be possible?

This can also work as an intermediary solution to my ffmpeg question (easier to pipe in a virtual camera into ffmpeg I believe)

For Linux, here is a PR implementing v4l2loopback: #2268

I found virtual webcam driver (DirectShow filter) for Windows. https://github.com/webcamoid/akvirtualcamera

Can you use this?

Has anyone figured out a way to do this? scrcpy is almost perfect for what I need it for, I just need Windows to recognize it as a webcam.
