I have tried jit.desktop, unfortunately it seems doesn't work on my mac. Is there any other object that can grab screens as video input in real time?

You have to download the syphon externals from the Package Manager. Also check how I do it with Syphoner or ScreenCaptureSyphon. https://youtu.be/31zZ2AC9bOo
