@alvestrand, isn't ***request a permission*** an algorithm for elevating (persistent) permissions, that resolves with either `'prompt'`, `'granted'` or `'denied'`? Our `getUserMedia` algorithm seems to mistake this algorithm for a yes/no access request algorithm with only two possible outcomes: `'granted'` or `'denied'`. Square peg, round hole. How should `getUserMedia` treat a `'prompt'` result? `'prompt'` after all, refers to what users will get when they *later request access*. In other words, this can't be the *request access* algorithm, or it's recursive. Separately, the language about "live" tracks implying 'granted' is busted. A) that's not how Firefox ever worked (you get a prompt regardless), and B) the language implies site B gets access if site A has a live stream, which I don't think anyone wants. -- GitHub Notification of comment by jan-ivar Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-main/issues/350#issuecomment-214845387 using your GitHub account
