I prefer this wording, although we have now moved from "device" to "devices" in a way which is, I suspect, too general. Also, we want the indication to remain during the timeframe of the permission grant. What about Whenever the current site has permission to access a device without further interaction with the user, the browser MUST so indicate during the entire time such permission remains. > > - Jim > > > > > On 5/27/2014 8:47 AM, Harald Alvestrand wrote: >> On 05/27/2014 01:59 PM, bugzilla@jessica.w3.org wrote: >>> https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=22337 >>> >>> Stefan Hakansson LK <stefan.lk.hakansson@ericsson.com> changed: >>> >>> What |Removed |Added >>> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>> CC| |stefan.lk.hakansson@ericsso >>> | |n.com >>> >>> --- Comment #5 from Stefan Hakansson LK <stefan.lk.hakansson@ericsson.com> --- >>> The text supplied by Martin: >>> >>> "[active] The browser MUST provide noticeable indicia when actively >>> capturing media from a device. >>> >>> [potential] The browser MUST provide indicia when a site has a nascent >>> ability to capture from a device without a user consent prompt." >>> >> Since I'm not sure what "nascent" means in this context even after reading dictionary.com (it says "1. beginning to exist or develop: the nascent republic"), I suggest something like: >> >> The browser MUST provide an indication whenever the site has permission to access devices, that is, it can call getUserMedia() and get access to a camera without any user prompt. >> >> (I'm not too sure about "indicia" either. dictionary.com claims it's a plural of "indicium", which is "a printed message or instruction", or "an indication or token".
