(Chrome Security UX engineer chiming in) +1 to @owencm. I think that prompting prior to knowing whether a device is available will be a bad user experience (users already have many problems with prompts). As a precedent, webrtc doesn't do this, for example if you go to https://webrtc.github.io/samples/src/content/getusermedia/gum/ without a device plugged in, you will see getUserMedia error: DevicesNotFoundError and there won't be a permission prompt. If you plug in a webcam and refresh the page, you will see a prompt. -- GitHub Notification of comment by raymeskhoury Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/sensors/issues/145#issuecomment-262153823 using your GitHub account
