That'll require a seriously stupid workaround like being in a skype call between your desktop pc and laptop and then capturing that frame. It'll introduce a lot of delay and is generally just impractical. Just buy a webcam.

I want to facecam on my stream but I don't have a webcam, I have one built into my laptop though, can I stream on my main PC and use the webcam on my laptop somehow?

You could easily do it with VLC. You would have little to no delay as you would using Skype.

 

Look at the VLC streaming settings in Media > Stream.

Yes, you could stream it with VLC as well, it's still a seriously stupid work around.
