It’s free, and does a lot, way more than I know how to do right now, but recently I wanted to do a presentation with only my camera and some visual slides, so I started learning how to use OBS a little. You can then use this as a virtual camera, instead of the physical video device or web camera you currently have, either for calls or for recording.
