I would like to display a USB video stream using the video player, is this possible? What should set the source to? The camera is uvc compatible.

As in, you’re looking to display the feed from a locally-plugged-in camera in a Perspective video player component? As long as you’re clear that this won’t be accessible on any other session, it’s something we could add to the video player component, but isn’t currently possible.

Thank you! As for live streaming, I saw on a different forum that using IP camera feeds from ( ([https://www.insecam.org/](https://www.insecam.org/)) would work, but I haven’t been able to get any of them to work. Is there a specific format for the url I should be using?
