Shortcut for switching cameras

[mxpshn]

Hi Ram!
First of all, thanks a lot for a great app!

I’d like to suggest a small feature. I use two cameras with my MacBook: the built-in FaceTime camera during daylight, and a low-light webcam after sunset. Right now, I switch between them manually in the app settings.

It would be very helpful to have a “Switch Camera” menu option (with a keyboard shortcut) that cycles to the next available camera and disables the current one. Or make two distinct option like "Switch to Camera 1" and "Switch to Camera 2". This seems like a simple action that could be automated and would make the workflow much smoother.

Curious to hear your thoughts.

Cheers,
Max

This is an interesting feature request. I have one question though. In the latest FaceScreen version, you can enable multiple cameras at once. So I am wondering how will switch camera feature work if the user has more than one camera enabled at the same time?

What if the app could just disable menu item (and corresponding keyboard shortcut) when both of the cameras are working? Or a message alert saying the feature does not operate under this condition.

Actually I thought of a better idea, if 2 or more cams are on, hitting this key shortcut will only enable the first cam on the list and keep rotating through the list if the user keeps pressing this shortcut. How about that?

Sounds good!
