Solving user permission prompts with HTML
Browsers give you exactly one chance to ask a user for permission to do something. If the user declines, the only way to give access to the camera, microphone or geolocation again is hidden deep in the browser's settings (i.e. it's not gonna happen).
Once again, HTML comes to the rescue of JS. A new set of HTML elements let users give explicit permission, right from the page. We'll explore their features, their restrictions and how to use them
