Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Media Session: video conferencing actions (#608)

> Are there any additional privacy issues that need to be discussed in the explainer, considering that we are talking about muting / unmuting a user's microphone and activating / deactivating the user's camera? Even if not, it might be good to document why not.

There is no privacy implications here. The Media Session API allows websites to register actions. If example.com registers a given action, the UA will notify them when that action should be triggered. The UA is only the middle person in this and no third party is involved. If you are not familiar with Media Session, I understand that it can be unclear.

The naming isn't great, I agree. @kenchris suggested a naming in the issue that I'm fine with. I will let @steimelchrome make the last call as he is the one actually driving this.
