Describe the bug
Hello, I am using GoPro Open API tutorial modules of Python and using wifi method to conrtol GoPro 11 black.
The problem is:
When starting the webcam: /gopro/webcam/start, I found it can not taking a photo or recording a video by python at the same time.
It goes well when I Start preview stream, I mean when I use /gopro/camera/stream/start, I can take a photo or record a video at the same time.
I would appreaciate it very much if anyone can any advice on this, thank you very much!

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. start webcam: eg, url = GOPRO_BASE_URL + "/gopro/webcam/start"
   response = requests.get(url)
2. take a photo, eg, await client.write_gatt_char(COMMAND_REQ_UUID, bytearray([3, 1, 1, 1]), response=True)
3. Found error: When starting the webcam, I found it can not taking a photo or recording a video by python at the same time.

Expected behavior
I need to display the live screen for multiple GoPro cameras 11 black and control them to take phots or record a video at the same time.

Yeah this is how it works, once you put the GoPro in webcam mode you can't do anything else but to consume the stream. Exit out of webcam mode and take the photo/record a video.

Thank you very much.
I am using wifi to control the GoPro 11 balck, currently I use /gopro/camera/stream/start and udp://@0.0.0.0:8554 to get the live stream, but it is not fit for multiple GoPro cameras because all the cameras' GOPRO_BASE_URL ip address are the same one http://10.5.5.9:8080, is there any method to receive the live stream for multiple GoPro 11 black cameras on the same ubuntu system at the same time except webcam as it can not taking a photo simultaneously, or is it impossible? Thank you very much!

I'm going to close this since the original description is expected behavior as mentioned above.

To answer your most recent question...firstly I assume you are talking about Preview stream and not Live stream (i.e. RTMP) since the gopro/stream/start endpoint is for Preview stream. If so, this is not currently possible. However, the next firmware release is going to add a port a parameter to the Preview Stream endpoint similar to what has been recently done for Webcam streaming. So this will soon be possible.
