// , Whoa. If your 10 lines of Javascript could record my face right now, it'd look like I've seen a ghost.

I will definitely use this for evil.

The potential for bug reporting, at the very least, is huge.

This is going out to anyone who works on frontend stuff in our company and affiliates.

Well, recording your face with these 10 lines is also possible, just replace the getDisplayMedia call with getUserMedia({video: true})

The initial work at my company that lead to this article was also related to bug recording. Together with some event listeners that capture all keyboard and mouse interactions you can build quite powerful tools. Still, for screen and webcam recordings you need active user consent, which makes it harder to abuse.
