Summary
Remove support for the ‘volume’ constrainable property in getUserMedia() and related APIs.
Motivation
The ‘volume’ property was removed from the ‘Media Capture and Streams’ specification (https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-main/issues/585) by the WebRTC Working Group. Further, other browsers have agreed with the removal of the feature or never implemented the feature.
Interoperability and Compatibility Risk
No, because of two reasons.
The ‘volume’ constraint has never been used, as shown by the UseCounter below. Further, the implementation in Chromium has been only partial, lacking the actual processing of the constraint.
The only browser who implemented the feature is Safari, who has agreed to deprecate and remove it.
Alternative implementation suggestion for web developers
None

Requesting approval to remove too?
Yes, direct removal in M76.
