Re: [mediacapture-main] Add semantics choice to getUserMedia() for in-browser picker. (#667)

I just wanted to chime in that I have used a number of web-based video chatting apps over the last few weeks that don't offer me any choice of my camera (my setup has multiple cameras). Of course, those sites *could* have used APIs to enumerate my cameras and let me pick, but they didn't. And since that's left to the code, I the user am given no choice in the matter.

I really wish a change could be made that would, without any changes to existing code, give me the option to pick or authorize a different camera. In other words, what I wish is that this "user-chooses" semantics was the default.

Even if the browser UI still only let me pick/authorize a single camera (and not giving me the option to select/authorize multiple cameras and mics), at least I as a user would have the option in the browser to choose to force-expose a specific camera to the site rather than them getting to pick my default camera.
