If it's not possible to obtain this info from the browser, then we should still consider adding a troubleshooting note about this to the video consent frame (NOT the video config frame, where the other troubleshooting notes are, because this particular issue doesn't happen when viewing the live camera feed - it only becomes apparent to the user when they try to play back a recording).
