Mobile FaceTime or Skype call as a source

How does one get a FaceTime call into the mix?
NDI doesn't seem to do it. Neither does Syphon as far as I can tell. Thoughts?

Your video app of choice, with either an NDI or Syphon screen capture program picking it up. You’ll have to deal with the audio separately.

Better still to have the call on a separate machine, and use a hardware capture device.

OBS works to capture but if you're using OBS to stream concurrently - can't run multiple instances of OBS.

Am bringing in FaceTime calls, mixing them in Avenue with other sources and streaming them out again on OBS to Youtube.
Don't know if a Blackmagic box would help - seems not appropriate.

Skype can now publish NDI feeds, but it will include a Skype icon.
Things are a bit funky, as the NDI outputs are renamed with each call.

How about NDI Scan converter to grab the Skype window?
