@stefhak, regarding the [Comment](https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-main/issues/359#issuecomment-223202572), there seems to be different understandings of the spec. Let me share my view and hopefully we can clarify together. The spec defined two conditions in this case: a. if "any local devices have been attached to a live MediaStreamTrack in a page from this origin", **or** b. if "stored permission to access local devices has been granted to this origin" Here are two options to read condition-a 1. A local device "has been" attached to a live MediaStreamTrack, and is still in use by a page from this origin. 2. A local device "had been" used in the past at least once by a page from this origin. Option-1 is independent from condition-b, so it makes sense to me for the spec to define this as condition-a **or** condition-b. Option-2 would have to need more clarifications, for examples... - This seems a superset of condition-b at least in typical user scenarios, so makes condition-b redundant. - It is not clear when this condition can be revoked, for example, when user clears cookies or histories, etc. - It is not clear how users would know that they are still providing the fingerprints even after they have purposely revoked a stored permission to use their local devices by the specific origin. -- GitHub Notification of comment by ShijunS Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-main/issues/359#issuecomment-223335752 using your GitHub account
