Expose WPLIB switched camera to allow quick driver station switching between cameras
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No
Describe the solution you'd like Create a "virtual" switched camera that allows a single stream to the dashboard to switch between cameras by writing network table value to the dashboard. This functionality exists on the WPILIBPI.
Describe alternatives you've considered None that are really practical.
Additional context None
Wpilibpi has a virtual camera that can stream back to the dashboard. The virtual camera can instantly switch its input to a different physical camera by changing the value of a network table variable written to the coprocessor. This happens quickly and doesn’t disrupt the dashboard stream. It is useful to give drivers different views ( intake, vs field view, for example ).

That feels like a feature that belongs as part of the dashboard, not photon, to me?
It takes time to switch h to a new stream from the dashboard even if it is programmatically controlled. ( new socket connection and other negotiation, having the coprocessor switch makes it work faster and smoother. ( hence the reason it was in wpilibpi ).

I assumed that this would be easy to do since it was already done in Wpilibpi.

In that case, would you be willing to take on this issue?
