The scenario that led to the persistent-but-origin-dependent device ID was the scenario where one configured an application to work with a certain camera. One would then want to have this piece of configuration persist after the camera was closed. In Option-1, there is no way to remember the setting after closing the camera and closing the session (whatever a session is) without ceating a stored permission.. One has to restart the camera-picking procedure every time the session restarts. (Think kiosk mode devices.) In Option-2, one still gets the permission prompt (no permission is stored), but the application is able to remember the camera between session. (Another option that was valid under some versions of the permissions spec was to store an explicit "ask" permission to achieve the same effect. That's another way to skin the cat.) -- GitHub Notification of comment by alvestrand Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-main/issues/359#issuecomment-223378903 using your GitHub account
