createCustomVideoTrack difficult to use

[keepersmith]

Since this needs to be called outside the functional component, and it requires a MediaStreamTrack to already be in place, it does not seem to offer any functionality outside of a hard-coded track.
Perhaps I am missing something, but there seems no way to pass it any sort of dynamically-created track.
Is there a way?

Do you think creating a method on the returned hook to update the mediaTrack would help in your use case?

Hi - yes, for sure.
Also, since this needs to be called outside the functional component, allow calling it without any mediaTrack (an empty config).
The use case is for a user to select a video file and then stream it - so it needs to be adjustable from within a functional component to be useful.

That makes sense, let me put in some thought into the user-facing API and work on this in the next update. Might be some time as I'm working on a different project at the moment.
