At the F2F I asked a question about how media capture functionality is being split between WebRTC and DAP. From the minutes:

So just to clarify,

DAP is handling capture of still images
WebRTC is handling capture of audio, whether it is then streamed to another endpoint or not
WebRTC is handling capture of video, whether it is then streamed to another endpoint or not

Is that right?

Thanks,
