Note the above would never fail with `OverConstrainedError` because constraints are non-required by default. To fail requires:
```js
await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({video: {pan: {exact: 0}}});
```
The latter would indeed be bad for privacy if it didn't prompt first (which the spec currently [says to do](https://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-image/#pan) the way I read it.)
But prompting users for permission only to fail afterwards seems like bad UX, so https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-image/issues/246 seems like the right direction.
