776809 - Selecting to copy the video location on a MediaStream in a video tag returns a MediaStream object to the user - Should provide a better identifier to the user's camera

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 773988

(Core :: WebRTC, defect)

Description

[Jason Smith [:jsmith]]

Attachment: Camera API Video Test

Steps:

1. Load the test case with getUserMedia enabled
2. Right click the video stream
3. Select Copy Video Location
4. Paste the result into a text field

Expected:

Not exactly sure, but returning an identifier that points a user directly to the webcam in use would be what I would expect (if that's possible).

Actual:

[object MediaStream] is returned. From a JavaScript perspective this could make sense, but an end-user seeing this would likely be confused, especially if they have no knowledge of what MediaStreams are.

Also applies to audio as well.
