Support `external` camera position for publisher #693

Open fi5u opened 10 months ago

Feature Request

Description

In my React Native app on a recent iPad, I need to be able to take the publisher feed from an external USB camera. Starting from iPadOS 17, the iPad supports external cameras via its USB-C port. The two camera positions supported by opentok-react-native – front and back – do not take the feed from the external camera. We can see React Native Vision Camera already supports the external feed.

Proposal

Implement a third camera position option – external, which will take the external USB camera feed.

Or should it be the property videoSource which could be permitted to be set to the external camera device (not just screen and camera as current)?
