RE: Comments/Questions on Media Capture Streams – Privacy and Security Considerations

I think it is also very subjective, there is a time window of awareness
which differs a lot between individuals. I find as I get older it gets
narrower, buts that’s maybe just me. The point is only the individual can
decide so the choice must be available for them, when the permission is
requested and to set a default when they just click yes. There also needs to
be a default for how long a request stays valid.

We still have this learned expectation that the phone only works if you pick

up the receiver or push a button. In skype, you would still have to click 
"answer". I think the browsers will have to experiment as the expectations
are 
probably not well aligned with the permission concept.
