getUserMedia returns a Promise
resolve - returns a MediaStream Object
reject returns one of the following errors
AbortError - generic unknown cause
NotAllowedError (SecurityError) - user rejected permissions
NotFoundError - missing media track
NotReadableError - user permissions given but hardware/OS error
OverconstrainedError - constraint video settings preventing
TypeError - audio: false, video: false
