On: GetUserMedia API lands on Chrome

[revelation]

Tell me I don't have a webcam connected and inform me that this site requires one, and possibly wait for me to connect one.

Right now, I get the permission bar, click "accept" and it fails silently. And the "none" thing is really just a bad taste; you don't offer UI elements when they don't do anything.

(I didn't try, but I think that permission dialog wouldn't even recognize it when I connected a camera after it opened)

[hnriot → revelation]

I don't agree, as others have said, this dialog could have served to remind you that you had forgotten to plug in your USB webcam.

These days, no camera is surely an edge case that I think they handled fine.
