The Protocols and Formats Working Group took a quick look at the HTML Media Capture specification http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-html-media-capture-20120712/. In a teleconference discussion, minuted at https://www.w3.org/2012/07/18-pf-minutes.html, we had the following comments: * What happens if the requested device is not present on the system? People with disabilities may have a different sub-set of devices available than mainstream users. We suggest the specification state explicitly that the user agent should fall back to a standard file upload widget in this situation. * The specification should make explicit statements about security expectations, e.g., requesting permission before turning the microphone on in order to capture from it.
