Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] MediaStream Image Capture API (Pan/Tilt feature) (#358)

@riju Sorry this took so long. It's the first time we mechanically (or logically, depending on the hardware implementation) allowed to "move" things in the physical world from the web, and firsts are always a bit scary.

We've discussed this in quite a bit of detail, and the group opinion (after a bit of back and forth) is that capture and control should be modeled in a way that it can be two distinct permissions; ideally requestable in a single call. Cases are where you would be fine showing one fixed (tidy) part of a room that is conference safe, and not allow access to the other side; this in native is covered by the conference software, but in the web we can't assume the software is trustworthy and will respect the user's preference.

The plumbing for implementations to be able to provide a way for the user to opt-out of this feature, while giving permission to the video stream seems like a valid use case, and we'd like to see this covered.
