Open Items

Note: just a first brain dump; has not been discussed or agreed in any way.//Stefan 2012-04-24

Simple image capture API

iFrame behavior

Direct assignment of MediaStream to Video

Possibility to from JS create a dummy track and add to a MediaStream

  • dummy track can be used to insert DTMF in (to enable using IVR without access to mic or cam)

Possibility to select sources other than cam or mic

  • we need the possibility to use other sources than the actual device to getUserMedia so that users can fake the access to a camera
  • there is also another need: the webrtc reqs mandate that the screen should be a valid source (to enable screen sharing)

Enable display of level in Audio tracks

Enable adjustment of audio level

Possibility to change streams without doing getUserMedia

Closed Items

Change getUserMedia to force error handling

Direct assignment of MediaStream to Canvas

Integration of MediaStream with media elements

How to deal with several active devices
