Subject: Screen share hack

Hack to be able to share the screen under certain apps such as Zoom* by
using v4l2loopback to create a fake webcam device to which wf-recorder
outputs the contents of the screen.

*Unfortunately because of the corona shit show my university requires to
use this Chinese piece of crap spyware. This Covid nonsense seriously
needs to end.
