> That the camera stops and its light goes away when it is no longer used, is a feature of the browser, **and a bug in the app.** This seems to agree with my earlier statement that: "By suppressing GC, we'll expose **the bug** and motivate the app devs to **fix** it, which is better for users - our top constituency." (Emphasis mine on both quotes.) What we seem to disagree on is the relative value of motivating an earlier fix vs. freeing up resources. > I'd argue that what's disconcerting to users (as opposed to web developers) is not that tracks end, but that camera lights stay on longer than expected. We agree here too. > If anyone disagrees, please comment. I disagree. This is issue is proposing a normative change - it is not editorial. --- To stress again an argument I might have failed to highlight enough before - GC is unpredictable behavior, and users are (rightfully) distressed by unpredictable behavior. GC should not be exposed to the user through its side-effects. -- GitHub Notification of comment by eladalon1983 Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-main/issues/910#issuecomment-1726275289 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
