Description

### Checklist

- [X] For Python issues, I have tested with the [latest development wheel](https://www.open3d.org/docs/latest/getting_started.html#development-version-pip).
- [X] I have checked the [release documentation](https://www.open3d.org/docs/release/) and the [latest documentation](https://www.open3d.org/docs/latest/) (for `main` branch).

### Describe the issue

I tried to run web visualizer according to https://www.open3d.org/html/tutorial/visualization/web_visualizer.html in a Jupyter lab cell. The same works on the CLI using `open3d example visualization/draw_webrtc`.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

1. create new python env
2. `pip install -U -f https://www.open3d.org/docs/latest/getting_started.html open3d`
3. `pip install jupyterlab`
4. `jupyter lab`
5. run following in the jupyter lab:

```
import open3d as o3d
o3d.visualization.webrtc_server.enable_webrtc()
```

### Error message

```
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
RuntimeError Traceback (most recent call last)
Cell In[1], line 2
1 import open3d as o3d
----> 2 o3d.visualization.webrtc_server.enable_webrtc()

```

### Expected behavior

The same as on CLI.
