Description

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?

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing the scrcpy client’s displayed-frame output and reviewing the Windows virtual webcam driver requirements; done means frames displayed by the client can be consumed by other applications as a regular webcam.
