Right, test for !!navigator.mediaDevices though, so you don't reference 
undefined! Better yet, use a polyfill like this [1].

FWIW I have polyfill PRs pending for adapter.js and webrtc/samples [2].

As Harald points out, the above is gUM. RTCPeerConnection is separate 
(still working on polyfills for those).

Both promise-based gUM and promise-based RTCPeerConnection are in 
Firefox now (try [3]).
