Android instructions for creating and uploading media using the Camera

Under the Camera option, you can create photos and videos within the app and upload the media to My Media. 
1. Under the Upload icon, select "Camera". If this is the first time using the Camera option, KMS GO will ask to access the device's microphone and camera. Selecting "Allow" grants the KMS Go to access your microphone to make a video. Selecting "Don't Allow" does not grant access to the device's microphone.
The popup to grant microphone permissions reads: "KMS GO" would like access to the microphone. We need access to the microphone to let you capture a video and upload it to the portal.
