Request
Improve the documentation of VideoStream by describing how to use alternative streams to the default web cam. It would be even better if the example (or a Gallery example) showed how to use live image recognition similar to
Motivation
When reading the docs https://panel.holoviz.org/reference/widgets/VideoStream.html#widgets-gallery-videostream
"The VideoStream widget displays a video from a local stream (for example from a webcam) and allows accessing the streamed video data from Python."
It is indicated that the web cam is only an example. But it is not clear how to use anything else. For example a user is asking here how to use an alternative sensor https://discourse.holoviz.org/t/videostream-source/4225/3.
In the Streamlit community the VideoStream is very popular and I see many examples primary driven by the extension https://github.com/whitphx/streamlit-webrtc. I believe the Panel community could also do this and maybe even better because of the architecture of Panel vs Streamlit. But its difficult to get inspired and started because there is no example of this.
