Streaming video from guest to host QEMU.

Hi!
I have Arch on my computer.
Windows is installed in the QEMU virtual machine.
A webcam has been added to the virtual machine.
What is the best way to transfer an image from a virtual machine's webcam to the host machine?
Do I need to use a bridge?
I'm a little confused.
Thank you.

P.S. My host machine IP is 192.168.1.23/24.
I do translation in OBS on my guest machine udp://192.168.1.30:11000. And when I try to receive on host by udp://192.168.1.30:11000, there is nothing...

no

You need to clarify what you want first.
Are you aiming to transfer a recorded image or video created by  the webcam to the host ?

How do you connect to the guest to see its screen output ?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

(A works at time B)  && (time C > time B ) ≠  (A works at time C)

I wanna transfer video created by webcam to the host, in real time.

Guest and host it's the same laptop, so I just run vm and looking-glass).

P.S. I just wanna use Nvidia Broadcast). The plan is modify raw video from webcam in Broadcast and sent it to Linux)
