Specification
https://wicg.github.io/PEPC/permission-elements.html


Summary
Context-aware media element(s), are a declarative, user-activated control for 
accessing the starting and interacting with media streams. This addresses the 
long-standing problem of permission prompts being triggered directly from 
JavaScript without a strong signal of user intent. By embedding a 
browser-controlled element in the page, the user's click provides a clear, 
intentional signal. This enables a much better prompt UX and, crucially, 
provides a simple recovery path for users who have previously denied the 
permission. Note: This feature was previously developed and tested in an Origin 
Trial as the more generic <permission> element. Based on feedback from 
developers and other browser vendors, it has evolved into capability-specific 
elements to provide a more tailored and powerful developer experience.

Risks




Interoperability and Compatibility
There is a risk that this feature fails to be adopted by other browsers. This 
can be mitigated by backwards designing a reasonable fallback mechanism so that 
the element can degrade gracefully if the it's in an unsupported environment.

Gecko: Under consideration 
(https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/1245)

WebKit: No signal

Web developers: Positive

WebView application risks

Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it 
has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?
No information provided



Debuggability
The element raises issues to the devtools issues panel which help developers 
debug issues with their usage of the element.


Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, 
ChromeOS, Android, and Android WebView)?
No
The element is not supported on Android WebView as it requires permission 
manager support to function and the WebView permission manager defers most 
permission decisions to the embedder by design.


Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests?
Yes
