Sure, the previous answer of using OBS (with the VirtualCam plugin) works perfectly. You can open your webcam in OBS and setup whatever scenes you want, and the VirtualCam plugin will make OBS' output appear as another "webcam" that you can select in the communication software you're using.

Eh it's still good today, more flexible than the screensharing features in most apps :)
