Dropping permission when all tracks are stopped means that a videochat site with a "mute video" button has to choose between 1. Leaving the hardware camera light on while video is "muted", which means users have to blindly trust that the site's no longer transmitting, or 2. Needing to re-prompt for permission when the user unmutes the video. Neither of these is desirable. However, since: * the spec allows a "stored permission" for HTTPS sites, * such "storage" can live for just the lifetime of the realm if the UA wants, and * all videochat applications should be HTTPS anyway, this doesn't affect much in practice. -- GitHub Notification of comment by jyasskin Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-main/issues/387#issuecomment-243565701 using your GitHub account
