The documentation here for stream.startVideo has an example that is totally inconsistent with the documented function signature: [Stream | @zoomus/instantsdk](https://marketplacefront.zoom.us/sdk/custom/web/modules/stream.html#startvideo).

I would normally raise a documentation issue, but this seems like the way to do that here?
