Re: Crazy idea for Jitsi meetings

First, you'd need to design appropriate "command" language that could be 
embedded in the text chat.

Second, you would need to code _something_ (a browser extension?)
parsing one user PC's text chat looking for "commands" in that 
command language and pass appropriate video4linux instructions
to the connected webcam.

It would probably be a lot easier to have persons on the chat _also_ be
able to separately ssh into a shell account that has been carefully
limited to use only a wrapper (that you'd have to write) that allows the
ssh'd in user to enter v4l2-ctl instructions, and operate that at the
user PC with the webcam.
