Stream OpenCV output to a virtual camera

Virtual

I am working on a OpenCV project manipulating a stream from camera. I want to be able to have a virtual camera to have my manipulated video so that I could use applications that can use a camera source to have my manipulated video stream. I read about V4l2loopback but it is only available on linux.

Is there anyway I could do that?

unless you built opencv with gstreamer support (then you can use gstreamer pipelines with VideoWriter), it does not have any means to do so.

the easiest way would probably be to use an external app, ffmpeg / gstreamer / vlc to stream it to ip

I did build OpenCV with gstreamer support. Can you please point me in the right direction?
