Could you build this?
Partial While the desktop UI can be built quickly with Electron or Tauri, creating and distributing a system-level virtual webcam driver requires low-level OS driver engineering and code signing.
What it would actually take: A complete implementation requires building a desktop wrapper around native OS virtual camera mechanisms: a DirectShow filter or Media Foundation virtual camera on Windows, v4l2loopback integration on Linux, and a CoreMediaIO Camera Extension on macOS. Video decoding and smooth looping require high-performance FFmpeg native bindings. The hardest challenges are low-latency frame streaming, handling platform-specific driver permissions, and obtaining trusted kernel/driver code-signing certificates.
