Description Yang Sun 2012-07-06 03:37:01 UTC 
During development, we do not need keyboard or mouse for input, just video camera for input.So it is not possible to use keyboard/mouse to select the options, and  our use case can have other way for user authentication.

And can we have a mode, that getUserMedia only generate mediastream without prompt to user for camera usage confirmation?

Can we have a parameter ”popup:off” in getUserMedia ({video:true,audio:true,popup:off},gotStream,noStream)
So browser will not prompt to user select device, and silently activate the camera and audio deivce.

And the browser may have a configuration that popup:off is enabled in “privacy region”

Moving bug to Media Capture and Streams (because it's GetUserMedia), and closing as WONTFIX (because we've got consensus on when permission prompts are raised, and we're not going to change that).
