I've experienced tracks stopping on me at unexpected moments due to GC in toy apps I'd written to test new API surfaces I'd implemented. It felt disconcerting. In my dev setup, I could of course easily fix it by storing the reference to the track in a global variable I called `keepAlive`; that's beside the point. My point is that the momentary jolt of surprise helped me channel a hypothetical real user. I suspect that for a end user interacting with a real app, this would seem very strange and disconcerting, on two accounts. 1. First, that the mic/camera/screen-capture session persisted for longer than expected. 2. Second, that it came to an abrupt end. The user is likely to blame whatever arbitrary action they took last. Or he'd think something is buggy, but not know what; the app, the browser, or even the hardware. -- GitHub Notification of comment by eladalon1983 Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-main/issues/910#issuecomment-1379443716 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
