Feature description

It would be great if JetKVM allowed not only keyboard, mouse, and display redirection, but also supported connecting webcams (USB or built-in, with microphones) from the local machine to remote devices.

Use Case:

I have a webcam with a microphone (either USB or built-in) connected to my local machine.
A video conferencing app (e.g., Zoom) is installed on the remote machine, which is connected via JetKVM. In the app settings on the remote machine, I can select and use the webcam that is physically connected to my local machine.
As a result, I can use my local webcam and microphone to participate in video calls (e.g., to show myself and transmit audio) through Zoom running on the remote machine.
