Activities - Allow Users to Grant Webcam Access

[senethz]

Would be great to have the ability for users to grant webcam access in activities. I do not think it should be something automatic (if a user is in a voice chat on camera) - it would need to be an explicit prompt for permission as is done on websites:

There are many different use-cases for Activities to use webcams:

• Podcasts
• Filters
• Games

In some cases this could even allow some applications that require users to visit or use a third-party site or application to stay on the Discord client. For example many people use third-party applications like Riverside.fm to record podcasts or record podcasts on Discord using OBS (which doesn't explicitly ask for user permission to be recorded).

It would be really interesting to see if they would even be willing to do this considering they stub out getUserMedia in their Electron fork because Electron has no concept of permissions, let alone figuring out how to make it work on mobile.

Would love to see this for those who play webcam card games over discord. Integrating a life counter and more into an activity would be great.
