An object based on ConstrainDOMString specifying one or more acceptable, ideal, and/or exact (mandatory) device IDs which are acceptable as the source of media content.
Device IDs are unique for a given origin, and are guaranteed to be the same across browsing sessions on the same origin. However, the value of the deviceId is determined by the source of the track's content, and there's no particular format mandated by the specification (although some kind of GUID is recommended). That means that a given track will only return one value for the deviceId when you call getCapabilities().
Because of this, there's no use for the device ID when calling MediaStreamTrack.applyConstraints(), since there is only one possible value; however, you can record a deviceId and use it to ensure that you get the same source for multiple calls to getUserMedia().
Note: An exception to the rule that device IDs are the same across browsing sessions: private browsing mode will use a different ID, and will change it each browsing session.
