In this project, I showcase how to connect a USB camera and microphone to the ESP32-S3, capturing both image and audio data using UVC (USB Video Class) and UAC (USB Audio Class). The ESP32-S3 streams raw image and audio data over a WebSocket connection, demonstrating a simple server for testing purposes.

**Important:** This WebSocket server is designed to help test raw data streaming but is not intended for real-time multimedia transmission. For actual simultaneous streaming of video and audio, a protocol like RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) is recommended.

In this demo:
- We connect a USB camera to ESP32-S3.
- Capture image and audio data via UVC and UAC.
- Stream raw data using a WebSocket server.
- Display the incoming audio and video packets in real-time on a client.

This test setup is useful for developers working on USB peripheral integration with ESP32 but requires further implementation for practical multimedia streaming.
