Summary: `HTMLMediaElement.captureStream()` is a
standards-based API that exposes a `MediaStream` capturing the output
of an `<audio>` or `<video>` element.
We propose
implementing a spec-compliant `captureStream()` in Gecko to replace the
legacy `mozCaptureStream()`. Our plan is to keep both APIs available
initially, and then gradually deprecate the legacy API in the future to
improve web compatibility and align with other browsers.
