How to use Sunshine with monitor turned off?

I use Bazzite desktop and I want to use Sunshine while my monitor is turned off. If I turn off my monitor in the middle of a Sunshine session, Moonlight stops rendering but audio still works as normal.

the easiest way is to buy a dummy hdmi plug

How would that work? I have an HDMI cable connected to a USB hub I use for my Macbook. Will that work?

no, the dummy plug will "trick" the gpu to think there is a monitor connected hdmi cable isnt enough
