Buoy media sharing
Using Buoy, you can share videos, audio recordings, or images with other crisis responders. This means, with just a few taps, you can now can record a video, audio, or take a picture of an incident and immediately send a copy of that recording to whatever Buoy server you’re using. Even if something bad happens to your phone—maybe a cop confiscates it—a copy of the video you recorded will exist on a different, remote computer for safe-keeping.
Best of all, any file you upload is also immediately shared with other team members who have responded to the incident. This way, responders who arrive on-scene can document the incident, and also provide context in the form of video clips to responders who are still en-route, so they know what they’re getting into.
ℹ️ This feature is similar to how the ACLU Mobile Justice apps work. However, unlike the ACLU Mobile Justice app, any recordings you make with Buoy are immediately available to any responders involved in the incident with which you associated the recording. This means more copies of the recording, which makes it that much harder for authorities to suppress the recording. Additionally, Buoy's peer-review model does not rely on any trusted authority, even one as trustworthy as the ACLU.
Here is a screenshot showing that tapping the downwards-pointing arrow next to the “Upload media” button reveals any media attached to the incident that was previously uploaded by responders:
