Since day one of WebRTC (this was before we spun off the local media things into a TF) the way to get access to camera and microphone has been: navigator.getUserMedia(....); from the spec version of June 19th [1] it is also possible to do navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia(....); Shijun filed a bug on that we should keep one way (not both) [2]. The comments so far seem to indicate that while navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia is more logical we should only keep the old navigator.getUserMedia method since many apps are using it. But there has also been the comment that this is behind vendor prefix so changing does not have that big consequences (and perhaps implementations could support the old prefixed way for a long time even if the spec changes). I'd like some more discussion, and a conclusion. What should the spec say?
