Alexa Show - Use Camera as a Mirror

Allow user to turn on the camera and use the Show as a mirror, like one can do on many smart phones. The camera turns on and shows full screen when using the selfie photo function, so the functionality should be the same but without the countdown timer and photo taking.

only way to do it is say "echos take selfie." Once it shows camera and begins to countdown you say "echo stop." and it will stay in selfie mode. So 2 commands because echo doesn't have a command for mirror. When you ask echo to show mirror it shows mirrors for sale on amazon.
