'How to use WebCam as phone camera?

On the internet there is a lot of information on how to turn the phone into a webcam, but I would like to do the opposite, that my webcam become my phone camera.

To be more specific, some apps ask to take a live photo, on the spot, without the option to select from gallery, but I would like to get around this, App Cloner does this with the fake camera feature, but it doesn't work in almost any app, so they're looking for an alternative.

I thought of the following: On my mac, I can use software like CamTwist and ManyCam to create 'fake' webcam, CamTwist/ManyCam lets me pipe custom content (such as images or video) to that webcamera. So I thought of using emulators like BlueStack among others, and then these emulators would connect to my web cam and get the personalized content, the problem is that most apps don't run on emulators, at least the ones I need...

So following this logic, I would need to inject custom content into my mac camera and transmit this image to my android phone somehow.

If not possible, is there an alternative?

Note: fake camera android apps on play store not working.
