Comment:

 I took a quick glance at the library. To be clear, It is a browser
 library, don't let the mention of npm fool you.  This looks really
 interesting and the idea of adding support to record videos would help set
 WP apart from other CMS.

 That said, I am worried about the browser matrix this library currently
 supports:

 > Firefox >= 34
 > Google Chrome >= 32
 > Microsoft Edge >= 12
 > Opera >= 26
 > Chrome for Android >= 39
 > Android Browser >= 37

 No support for IOS Safari, only recent Android support, and no IE support
 just isn't in line with where WordPress is.  While it's ok to engage in
 progressive enhancement, excluding over 30% of browser users  just doesn't
 feel right to me.

 Overall, I think that recordable video natively in WordPress is something
 that should be demonstrated in plugin form first.  I would also worry a
 bit that just recording video without editing might not work for users.
 So that likely needs to be user tested.
