My team and I are using screego for our daily remote pair programming and it would be absolutely great if we can also stream from other video devices.
For example a web cam or a HDMI screen capture device.

I've implemented a very basic version of this feature.
I already understand that you are trying to keep screego pretty basic and I can image that this feature could be to much for the scope of this project.
So I'm really interested in your opinion about this feature.

Hey there, cool that you and your team are using Screego (:.

I have a split opinion on this. I understand your use-case and could probably
see this integrated into Screego.

On the other hand, I also know from my other projects, that having a clear goal
is extremely valuable, as it gives a well-defined barrier which things may land
inside a project and which not.

Screego tries to do one thing well and that is screen sharing. It may seem easy
to just add another video stream, and it probably is. But the cost of
maintaining it isn't worth for me. The next feature request would probably be
microphone support and with that Screego would be competing with services like
jitsi or big blue button and I see no way that I as a solo developer
can do a better job than these projects.

I'll decline this PR as I see it as out of scope for this project and
hope my explanation is sufficient (:
