A narrow reading of that "authorized" would be "devices to which the user has already granted access through getUserMedia" though I don't want to put words in that group's mouth. Seems reasonable. Is any other browser vendor interested in implementing > something to address this? To be clear, I'm coming at this from the perspective of chromium (tracking bug <https://code.google.com/p/webrtc/issues/detail?id=2243>). I don't know about any other vendors' plans regarding this, and it would be good to hear from any who wanted to speak up :) Cheers, -a
