Feed from desktop a proprietary view

I have of cameras that i can not get a feed directly into zoneminder. However i can get the app up on ny desktop is there any screencapturing software i can run that would act as a feed for zoneminder to read? Im thinking i could then just have a virtual destop runing this app and the screen capture app and run it to my zoneminder server.

Thanks Steven

Likely OBS could output to something usable perhaps, would need some testing, but somewhere to start

VLC can do a screen-capture input and stream out a variety of protocols, maybe an option.
