   * {@code surfaceTextureHelper}, register itself as a listener, and forward the frames to
   * CapturerObserver.onFrameCaptured(). The caller still has ownership of {@code
   * surfaceTextureHelper} and is responsible for making sure surfaceTextureHelper.dispose() is

   * VideoCapturer once the previous VideoCapturer has been disposed.
