Give option to display opentok's default placeholder when video muted

[jonathanwmaddison]

I believe the OpenTok js sdk provides a default placeholder. It would be nice to have this in React Native as well, so when video is muted a placeholder image is displayed instead:

I am looking into a solution, and if it seems extendable to this library, I'll make a PR.

There should be support for any custom image

I've come back to this because, while our app does a lot of internal state tracking in order to render a custom screen when we detect there is no video, there is still a period of time that goes by between when a user enables their video and the actual frames start being rendered. During that little gap we get a flash of black screen, and I'm not finding any way to avoid it right now.

It would be nice if we could provide a fallback to render somehow.

I've come back to this because, while our app's main feature is video call and in order to render a custom screen when we detect there is no video, there is still a period of time that goes by between when a user enables their video and the actual frames start being rendered. During that little gap we get a flash of black screen, and I'm not finding any way to avoid it right now. I have tried many things but not able to fix this issue and issue is really frustrating to users
