The output is a virtual camera, so anything that reads a webcam (Zoom, Meet, Teams, Discord, QuickTime, OBS itself) sees an ordinary camera device. About 650 lines of Python on top of OpenCV, pyvirtualcam and pynput, with the interesting parts (loop builder, ring buffer, state machine, hotkey logic) tested without any hardware. the switch to the loop happens on release, not on press. starts just before the seam, so both the loop's own wrap-around and the cut from live to loop are half-second dissolves rather than jump cuts. opacity, so you can line yourself up with the loop before ending it. Both keys are global hotkeys…
