You can use the v4l2loopback kernel module to create a virtual camera,
and use one of the many tools to send video to the virtual video
device.  However, that will just send a video or image to the video
device, it won't get your webcam's picture and overlay it on top of
it.  If you want that, you'll need to do what zoom is already trying
to do, which requires a static background (a green screen).
