Re: user permission for recording?

Speaking purely from a security perspective, once the site has access
to the media, then the cat is out of the bag.  At best, additional
dialogs in chrome serve only to annoy.  At worst, it means that
applications will jump through extra hoops to perform recording.

In any case, browser-based recording might be a poor choice for
applications that intend to store media on a server.  Sending the
media to a server to have it recorded there will encounter no
consent-gates other than the gUM one, regardless of our choice here.

If your application needs to meet a local legislative requirement
regarding consent and awareness, then that can be implemented by the
application.
