Thanks for the input!

Would you be willing and able to provide a proposal for exactly what we
need to change in the spec in order for this to be possible?

And - should this be done as part of the ImageCapture API work, or as
part of the Media Capture and Streams specification?

However there is no way to get the video content into the canvas from the worker, since the only path right now is through attaching the media stream to a video element and a canvas drawImage operation with the video element as source.
