Could you use an external capture device like an elgato which is about $100 And use it with obs to transmit your screen? Sorry speaking from ignorance about true nature of issue just a guess.

Maybe, through only for external monitor and potentially with limitations.

Anyway compared to what technically it's possible (i.e. some clicks heard and there and it works), it's not really a acceptable solution.

The Elgato 4k HDMI capture card at least has no linux support and cannot be made to work. I believe the non-4k version can be made to work.
