[Feature] Fake video capture

See original GitHub issue

I have reviewed the documentation, but i have not found an answer to this. Is it possible in playwright to configure a fake video capture?

Something like --use-file-for-fake-video-capture option for chrome. This is a nice to have popular request, for instance, in alike frameworks such as cypress.

You can pass chrome launch arguments to achieve it, but there is no support for it on non-Chromium browsers.

This worked like a charm:

args=["--use-fake-device-for-media-stream",
        "--use-file-for-fake-video-capture=/path/to/video.y4m"]

Leaving as a feature request. For now, please use available workarounds for Chromium and Firefox. Thanks @viraxslot!
