If the browser supports querying for whether you have permission or not, the page can tell that it's not getting the device because permission is "denied" - at least when it's for all devices. In that case, it can point to browser UI (sigh) to reenable camera. (Without enumerateDevices, he can't find the ID to figure out which specific devices to ask about, so if the individual device is denied, the page has a Hard Problem.) If any page action allows the page to prompt after being initially denied, this offers the possibility of trapping the user in "request until allowed" loops - which is a Bad Thing. No needs to mean no. -- GitHub Notification of comment by alvestrand Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-main/issues/639#issuecomment-558572253 using your GitHub account
