== Revisit: Let getDisplayMedia() influence the default type choice in the picker ==
We continue to have a strong demand from Web developers for functionality that lets them influence what kind of display surface the user will capture; this is one of the core differences between the pre-standard "Chrome extension API" and the WG-defined getDisplayMedia() function.

Such a functionality is easy to add (allow a constraint on capture surface type). If it does not block the user from picking other things, but merely changes the default capture surface (currently "screen" on both Chrome and Safari), it doesn't seem to be a huge increase in user risk exposure.
