Wait. iPadOS 17 supports external cameras but apps have to opt in? And on top of that the system camera app doesn't even support it? Are you fucking kidding me?
This is the sort of thing that makes me not interested in upgrading my iPad. The OS is severely underpowered, and even when they do add features, they're always weirdly limited in some way to the point of not being useful.
I found a third party recording/streaming app which seems like it will more or less do what I want, but I still don't get why external cameras are something every app has to support on an individual basis. If I had to go to Settings to turn it on per app, that would be fine, but at least the Camera app should support this out of the box.
