Webcam support
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great to get video input from webcams. Maybe we can extend [Video] / media foundation for that.

Additional context

I'd like to see Direct Show support aswell, as that would allow us to use capture cards inputs, like Blackmagic Design, Elgato, or anything else that uses Direct Show to capture video.
Although that won't guarantee it to work 100% with all brands, AJA for example need its own implementation (here), and so does Blackmagic Design.
This will be a very useful feature. Is a directshow support will make the linux port easy ?
directshow isnt linux compatible unfortunately - ive done some searching and native webcam seems like a major pain in the ass. cross-platform solutions for it dont really exist, so we would need to have a generic abstraction layer, with Windows using DirectShow, Linux using behind the scenes something like gstreamer, mac using Mac Things, etc
