+ * Adjusts video constraints to work around bug in Chromium.
+ *
+ * In Chromium it is not possible to increase the resolution of a track once it
+ * has been cloned, so the track needs to be initialized with a high resolution
+ * (otherwise real devices are initialized with a resolution around 640x480).
+ * Therefore, the video is requested with a loose constraint for a high
+ * resolution, so if the camera does not have such resolution it will still
+ * return the highest resolution available without failing.
+ *
+ * @param {Object} constraints the constraints to be adjusted
