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.
