Description
### Is there an existing issue for this item?
- [x] I have searched the existing issues
### Repositories
LizardByte/Sunshine
### Languages/Skills/Technologies
C++, CMake, Windows
### Description
The WGC method is not user friendly as it requires disabling the service and running Sunshine manually.
There was a previous attempt to remedy this via https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/pull/3344 and other tools starting to pop up like https://github.com/roob-p/SunshineCaptureSwitcher
It would be ideal if this can be resolved in Sunshine's source code instead of through third party tools.
