Firefox Developer Edition already implements `getSettings` and can be seen in action here: https://jsfiddle.net/7udgdbbu/ For width/height it returns the same thing as `element.videoWidth` and `element.videoHeight`. This is spec compliant AFAIK. There's no mention of cropping in the spec, so I consider cropping in Chrome to be a hack, which to be spec compliant, must be considered just another virtual camera resolution. We believe Firefox implements getUserMedia to the spec, as a discovery API. There's an inherent conflict when you add rescaling of any sort: *If you get exactly what you want then you've discovered nothing.* (One can play tricks with min/max, but in general this is true). So Firefox does not support cropping. It doesn't even support rescaling, though we are feeling the pressure to implement rescaling at least, in https://bugzil.la/1286945 , as privacy properties are better and surprises fewer with concurrent gUM access (less discovery == more privacy). -- GitHub Notification of comment by jan-ivar Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-main/issues/386#issuecomment-241760854 using your GitHub account
