> I am fine with a PR allowing a browser to implement a device picker only in the case where there is more than one device to choose from.
@youennf Great! That's what this PR aims to do.

It does, but merely allowing it doesn't make `getUserMedia` a reliable selector. When I click here:

...I want to write:
```js
button.onclick = async () => {
if (numberOfVideoInputDevices > 1) {
const c = {video: {deviceId: cameraTrack.getSettings().deviceId}};
cameraTrack = (await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia(c)).getVideoTracks()[0];
}
}
```
...and have that bring up a browser picker in all browsers (with "Logitech BRIO" as current choice).
This needs to be guaranteed, to replace in-content selection, which won't happen from vague prose.
