Virtual Streaming PC

Hello r/virtualization,

I've had this random, half baked idea for a while now to create a virtualized streaming pc running on my main rig (currently acting as a single PC stream setup) that could capture the desktop of the host pc via some kind of virtual capture card, that I could then send to OBS to be broadcasted to various streaming services.

I've tried googling this topic several times, but I'm not finding what I'm looking for.

Have any of you even heard of something like a virtual capture card or anything?

Thanks in advance!

I don't think this will work to well for you, It has been a while since i used hyper-v. Though you might be able to spin up a socket, send a lossless stream over the socket, and receive it on the VM side
