Research direction

Start with the browser-compat-data entry identified by the api.MediaDevices.devicechange_event query and compare it with the reported MDN page. Verify the Firefox 90 behavior against the Chrome comparison and current browser documentation. Done means the compatibility data accurately records the verified support status or the report is documented as obsolete.
